RossRe: Ruger #3 in 45/70
The # 3 would certainly handle it, but the .45-70 can be loaded pretty hot in the Ruger without the rechamber cost.
I have one in .375 H&H. It is my 6�# loaner, and has produced more Weatherby eyebrows than deer.
Cheers from Darkest California,

GeorgeSSure, why not? So what if it's light? All it can do is kick and buck.
