for what it's worth

Jeffe, if it ever comes to pass Bobby is ready to bid for a group buy.

group buy????...i know of about 10 of my hog-hunting buddies that want 1.....so put me down for an even dozen....

Well, I still want one. Count me in Harry.

I would still take a pair if possible.

Harry,
I reckon there would be 30+ sold out of here, if they were all in a box

I wonder if possible to rechamber to 450 NE?
I saw a thread on an Italian 45/70 double, it was suggested it can happen.
I'm just thinking is all.

.366, just go with easy, available, and cheap...45-90 (2.5)or 45-120 (3.25). Lyman makes both die sets, Starline makes 45-90 and Jamison makes the 45-120. My 45-120 in a Ruger SS shoves 540gr pullets out the front at 2200+fps.

45/70 Nitro -
3.165 OAL 45/70 case

same brass, same dies, and can loaded "down" to trapdoor.!!

I want to have faith ...

leave it 45/70 my kodiak is shooting 405grains At 1850+fps now. knocked my black bear on her a$$. Should take care of most game you would use one on. Face it if you are gonna hunt buff or elephant you most likely can buy more than a $600 gun. IMHO

Jeffe,

What's the 45/70 nitro get you?

Best bet, re-bore to 450 Alaskan if there's enough metal in the chamber area.

You guys need to put the crack pipe down, it's getting to you in a bad way. I am so very unimpressed with Remington these days. I have sold a few of the SPR18 single shots. Decent guns but Remington has no idea how to put a scope on them. The double will be the same. I spent monday tracking down a mount that has to be gotten out of Canada. I know what you are thinking, it's an 11mm grooved base already on the gun. Yep, you are correct, but it will not stand up to recoil even from a 308.

Brian,
if the metal is good, and they can be regulated, I can fix the rest.. i make stocks and can machine scope mounts... even if it means cutting a notch into the rib, DnT it, and put weaver bases on it!!

Hey Jeffe,

If I get one I'm going to solve the scope mounting problem by turning the gun upside down, mounting the scope on the bottom with wood screws and makeing an attachment so I can shoot around trees.

Okay, 45-120...one more time:

Lyman 45-120 die set......$39.99
Jamison Brass.............under $2 apiece and available
Cast bullets for practice.....25-40 cents apiece

The fun of owning and shooting an American Express cartridge that throws 500+gr bullets over 2200fps (I shoot mine that hot)...priceless

Next Question....
you are dismissed

Rich, you go right a head with it. Just remember this will be a sub 8 lb DR.

Hey Billy, don't forget to tig the triggers together to double your chances of hitting something!
