H&R Handi Rifle 45-70

If the trigger is good then you will like it.

The few i have shot had the trigger reworked. (Made lesss harsh at the factory). Maybe they started polishing a bit at the factory instead of the recall shop. They all just bought a second factory barrel and got the trigger job free. The 500 S&W version is now legal in Indiana for deer see if they have one of those in that Pawn shop for me.

I have the 45-70 in 20 inch barrel on a t/c contender gen 1 with a small 4X scope, Same concept. Try a wrist cartridge holder you can reload fairly fast with it.

If you handload you can get a remarkable increase in power safely in the Handi. The 45-70 is stuck in the low SAMI rating since there are 100 year old guns. The 500 S&W is chambered with much higher than you will want to push the 45-70 so it will handle a mildy hot to hot 45-70 load.
