Remington SxS 45/70
Have just been told by a retailer here in Vic that Raytrade - the Remmington importer is now expecting the SxS 45/70's in September.

I just had my hands on the Baikal 30-06 sxs last week. It was $1050CND I think I will get one. In fact I would have bought that one but it had one of the uglyest and dark (almost black) stocks I have ever seen.

Does anyone know what the 45-70 will be regulated for?

The 45/70's are supposed to be in Canada in June .. ??? Being impatient I bought a 30-06 a few weeks ago.. The stock on this Baikal is not at all too dark ... I had some photos of it posted on AR back then. (I paid $1,200 Canadian)I love it !!! (The rifle, that is ... )And I'll buy the 45/70 too and probably throw the 30-06 in the river .... Wink

Cleavers had an ad in Sporting Shooters stating
"taking orders now" before Christmas. I rang them and they said the Remington rep was going to make an announcement at the Safari Club show at Coffs Harbour when they would arrive. Not a word was said. I rang them again the other day and they said "very soon". I have spoken to my local gunshop and in fact one of the guys rang Raytrades top honkies and they said "end of Feb". I won't be holding my breath waiting for them. Mind you I put in a PTA for one, so I'm ready.

She's a fine looking gun especially for the money. I noticed that it's rated for 28,000 psi/cup loads which is on the low end so not up to the Marlin rated loads which sounds a tad conservative since it's also chambered in 30-06. Might be fun to ream out to 45/110 and load up using 777 powder loads. Barrel regulation is adjustable by the shooter which sounds great for your custom loads. Can't wait until they finally arrive.
