If you've ever priced double rifles, you know most cost at least $8,000 to $10,000. Sabatti Double Rifles are the exception. You have a quality - and in this case, very nicely engraved - SxS double, in excellent condition, for a great price, chambered in .45-70. Handloader? Even better. From Chuck Hawks: "The traditional .45-70 factory load is a 405 grain bullet (BC .214, SD .272) at a MV of 1330 fps, and a ME of 1590 ft. lbs."
The .45-70 was a late 19th century black powder cartridge. But with handloads using modern components, much higher MEs are achievable. For those who don't handload, Buffalo Bore has a load or two with MEs in the 3800 ft/lbs neighborhood. Wow! Now we're talking a modern, big bore, hunting cartridge. And there are plenty of factory loads out there from several ammo makers. Tremendous flexibility with this rifle. Plus, it's a beautiful gun!
