Have always thought SxS rifles were neat. Had no money raising family for some years so never looked for one. Got older and started, what I really wanted was a.303, 30-30, 30-40 or 45-70. My only desire ro hunt Africa is birds. Have been giving some of my deer rifles away the last few years to my daugter, son and grandsons. But I broke down and bought a Remington (BiKaal, Russian) 45-70. Didn't make change in budget, you shold be able to find knew 825 to 900. This gun is made for one to play with, right barrel is permently affixed. Left one has adjustments at the muzzle via 2 set screws and about 8.5"s from muzzle yhere is a cogged wheel running parrrell to the bbls. Know Remington does not even mention it in the instructions. Already shoot a no. of other 45-70s so have all the makings. My goal is to get two bullets to strike with in 3" at 75 yds. If not I have another single shot with a spare shell holder being the second bbl. Hope to start on project next week.
