BPI 14 point B Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 9,747	Originally Posted by paulfish4570 .45-70 is NOT a meat destroyer. i've seen too many killed with it. medium hole in, somewhat bigger hole out. blood, blood, blood, blood ... stob, i have an 1894 in .44. williams fire sights on it. i've not killed a deer with it yet. but with my 67.5 year old eyes, i'm afraid, i'll have to go to a lower power scope. i'm thinking a 2.5 X old school leupold or other, maybe even a scout set-up. i don't want to lose the little rifle's carry-ability ... If you shoot the low power stuff you can eat right up to the hole. If you shoot the high power stuff it will bruise the whole ribcage and look like someone threw a can of soup through it sideways.

It's light and fast at under 6lbs,and plenty powerful for close or far. I hunt with 160 GK HP's when I expect close shots. I don't like levers cause they don't fit me well,so this is the lightest fastest woods gun in a round that's plenty powerful but low enough recoil that you can get another shot of you need to and won't be flinching.

The only thing that a creedmor has that a .270 doesn’t is the ability to be built on an AR platform. Besides that a .270 is the absolute best North American big game Rifle for shots out to 500 yards. Beyond that it gets interesting. Not outside 100 it’s a 12g slug all day long.
