I have this .44 mag but I really want a 45/70

I picked up a multi caliber suppressor a while back that is rated up to 45/70 and now I really want one to see how it works suppressed! Would be a hell of a brush gun for pigs or guide gun in near country!

Add an illuminated LVPO and that is my dream gun! Hard to justify as 45/70 is overkill for anything in this part of the country though.

For squirrel I use 17 hmr. Gonna be replaced with .22 soon. Deer I use a .300blk AR using barnes bullets, for coyote use.223 AR with 55 gran vmax. For turkey and water fowel use my browning maxus. For rabbit use a old sears and roebuck 20 gauge break acrion

Deer and sometimes coyotes: 6.5x55 Swede
Coyotes, varmints: 223/556
Squirrels: 17hm2, 22lr
Turkey: 12g

If I had to have just 1 I'd grab my 6.5x55 Swede. Been my favorite for more than a decade now.

That would be an epic set up, certainly overkill but good lord overkill is a lot of fun!

Life is short brother, would be worth the build!
