Found a Ruger #3 45-70 today.
Good catch. I bought one made in 1976 a couple of years ago. I bought a scope base for it but haven't mounted a scope on it yet. It shoots great with cast bullets, I have only run a few jacketed through it as most of my jacketed bullets are loaded with Marlin level loads and they just are no much fun in it. BP level loads are not bad at all, even with 500+ gr bullets. It kind of reminds me of a sharps military carbine.
