Stainless barrel, fluted if possible, with sights, synthetic stock. Thompson or CVA. Anyone know where I can get one. I've been all over the www.

Apex is a good gun, thought they made it in the Scout too but you dont want a 45 70 in the Scout, too lite.
wally world has em--this time of year should have in stock
I have the Optima if you want to shoot it Tommy.
Are you going to reload?
I have the .444. After some research I found that the .444 shoots a little flatter. With a 265 Hornady FTX and that dadgum Nikon 50 mm BDC scope, 200 yds ain't nothing. Not to mention it leaves a big honkin hole in whatever it hits.

The .45-70 is an awesome cartridge. I have it in the H&R Buffalo Classic. If you can see it, it's down.
armslist.com may have something.
Maj dont count out H&R, i got one and i love itvery accurate and not all that expensivegot mine at bass pro.
Thanks for all the tips guys.
Bonds Sport Shop in New Albany, MS.....If he does not have it in stock......he can order anything that you want. 662-534 5815
The .47-70 is a good caliber for settling FJ disputes.
Found the CVA Optima Elite, stainless but not fluted, with synthetic stock for $249.00. That's going to be hard to beat.
Better get it, doubt you will beat that. The extra weight of not being fluted is gonna be a plus anyways, 45-70 dont need to be lightened up any.
Look at mississippi bull nettler site . Has a encore , never shot ,400 dollars .
If we find some land to hunt around our place at Enid, I think I'm going with the .35 Whelen.
Whelen is a bad boy.
I love my 35 Whelen Prohunter!! Hardly no recoil ! 300 yards and he going down! I got mine new for 625.00 new 3 years ago.
