45-70

Tater...I have a 45-70 contender and can tell you it can shoot one hole groups..if you flinch the same way every time. That sucker kicks,,,no foolin. It really isn't a lot of fun to shoot after the 5th or 6th shot. But I am a wimp when it comes to recoil. You may make out just fine with it. Get the 14in Contender bbl though. Really tough on scope mounts too.
