I just sold the 7mm Rolling Block but kept Winchester. It’s a good shooting rifle for 120 years young.

Thanks. It started out as a 32-40 then rebarreled to 40-70. And, now it’s a 45-70. She’s had many lives.

High walls are the easiest to swap barrels on.  I play musical calibers on many of mine.

I think I did. The sights on the Rolling Block were tough to see.

I like the wood on that HW. Mine is rather plain but it too has been re bored from 32-40 to 45-70, skipped the 40-70 part AFAIK.
It also has the old style Winchester loops designed for the old sling hooks. They work fine with modern QD sling swivels too.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!
