It will kill anything living within 85 or 100 yards.

What good recommendations are you looking for? Gun manufacturer? Bullet to shoot out of it?

I do highly recommend a kick pad for it.

Gun brand and any other info. My buddy recommends the 45-70 over a muzzleloader and I do not have time to learn to bow hunt Y-E-T.

I'v heard they kick like a sumbich.

So is it basically a normal rifle model with a blackpowder cartridge?

Are you dead set on the 4570? 444 and 35 will give you more range.

A 4570 will knock your inners loose if you don't hold it.

I am not dead set on anything. Just something for black powder season.

Any links you could provide would be great. Thanks!

My bdddy just texted me that the 45-70 he has is an "New Englans arms, used to be H&R". Whatever that means.

This thing looks bad arse. What kind of scope you mount on these? What is the shot range?

Sorry, going back now and seeing posts about range, H&R, etc.

I see Savage makes a .35 Whelen

I have a 45-70 buffalo classic that I got 7 years ago. I got a TC Encore Pro hunter in 35 whelen 4 years ago. I haven't hunted with the 45-70 in 4 years. I sometimes hunt with the TC instead of my 7mag.

the 45-70 does kick like mule. ballistics on it are not near what the 35 is. there not even in the same class. I would definitely recommend getting 35 whelen.
