The old Custer bumper stickers used to say "Custer got Siouxed". The 50-70 is a fine shooting rifle. My current 50-70s are a rolling block that Higginbotham built for me on a 1902 action and a restocked, rebarreled Belgian Comblain. I suspect that one barrel is a Green Mountain and the other is a Badger and both are fast twists that will easily handle 600 grain bullets.
