Not mine because they would keep getting the rounds stuck upon ejection like he did which would eventually do more damage than working the action properly
First time I took mine to the range to sight it in all the booths were full and I finally got one in the middle. After the first couple shots I could see people leaning out and looking my way. After I was just about done shooting a few guys finally approached me cause they just had to ask me "What the hell are you shooting?" I said 45/70 and they just nodded their heads in agreement. LOL The 45/70 Actually rattled the walls of the booth that you could "Feel it"
"Letting my friend"... Obviously he isn't use to the weapon. If someone hands you a cannon and tells you it is gonna kick hard etc. I'd be very surprised if all you experts didn't flinch the first pull, I'd rather see a little jerk than barely holding it and have it fly around. You can also see he isn't too keen to shoot it repeatedly so again obviously he isn't going to have perfect form. The guy just wanted to give his friend a go with his gun, relax everyone. We can't all come out the gates our first time and score a 10.
I thought his rifle handling skills were on par, he always kept the barrel pointed down range and didn't drop the damn thing so that is a Big Plus in my book. He should have been shooting seated and off of a bag to be more safe, but when he was done he left the chamber open and gently laid the rifle on the bench. Good on him! 45/70 is a handful and it ain't for everybody, but I love mine.
Im from the UK and as we don’t have guns here, it was my favourite gun to shoot, shot one in Kentucky on my wedding bachelor party with some friends I made online. You can see me shoot it at the end of my Kentucky holiday video...aswell as a 50bmg AR and some other assorted guns :)
Hi bud il let you into a little secret I’m from the uk as well and we do have guns I have 5 and regularly shoot this same gun ... find a local gun club and get involved if you enjoyed it abroad it’s a great sport to do .

@@Countryboyredneck97 5years too late in my asking but lol...what scope is that on there ? Interested in this gun, feel like I don't have anything long range in my collection..
Sweet looking rig. My first gun was a Marlin 1895G but I sold it because I couldn't afford to shoot it. Now that I know how to handload, I'm sure I made a big mistake.
Oh yeah, I would never be able to afford to feed my 45-70 factory ammo and if I could I couldn't justify shooting it lol. Hand loading allows me to shoot a box of 100 rounds at the range and only feel slightly bad since I just lobbed 40,500 grains of lead down range....
See him flinch on that 2nd shot ! Funny to hear comments on the recoil because I found it comfortable to shoot. More like a shotguns push than the cracking jolt of a 30/06 . Mine wore a 1-5 power Tasco mounted in their excellent bridge mount and rings. I later changed to a peep sight for scrub hunting and a 308 Rem 700 became my scoped firearm. It was early 80s and factory loads were very limp wristed ( so they didn't blow up the inferior Winchester models) so I handloaded 300grn Sierra's for about 2200ft/ sec and 400grn Hornadys for 1900ft/ sec (approx). The 300 hollow points poleaxed big boars and the 400 flat points had plenty of power to smash shoulders and reach vitals on water buffalo. The gun is still going shooting excellent factory ammo. In 1982 it cost me $310 aus because it had a small rub mark on the barrel from the display rack. Can't think of a better gun to take on soft skinned game.
Everyone starts somewhere, but inexperienced shooters is why I go to the range during the week. I stopped going to an indoor range period....too close to one another and even with a range master had too many close calls
that was funny on the first one. he blinked pretty good just before he found out it was on safe. then the next two nothing. dry firing drills work. just put it in slow mode .75 and you will see just how good he really did. great video !
I've got the Marlin 1895 45/70 walnut/black and I Love it! Put a decent recoil pad on it, I can shoot it all day long, that's the only downside with Marlin they just have a cheap plastic recoil pad. With the aftermarket pad the rifle actually fits me better because the length of pull was a bit short with just the factory pad, now it fits like a glove, I love the furniture on your rifle. I put a Nikon Slug Hunter scope on mine with see thru mounts just for deer drives. Awesome round hits like a Fkn Sledgehammer!
@@mintyfone Mine is called "Recoil Eraser" and it's just a slip on gel pad, very nice quality and I believe that I ordered it from Amazon. Just do a search for it.
I’m a sucker for the Grey stain and stainless lever actions. Damn that’s a nice looking rifle. I still think it’s a crime to put a scope on a lever action but I get that it’s practical.
He is a little to straight up and not leaning into the rifle I mean the way he is shooting is fine I guess but anything stronger might hit him a little to hard and knock him a lil far back causing him to potentially fall over but it should be fine And I also love how gentle he is with the gun
Brandon Garvick eBay, found a guy that makes customer leather slings and stock wraps and gave him an idea of what I wanted and he drew it up and sent me a picture and I gave him the ok
slicvm it works very well for me at the cost that is was but if you're going to be shooting anything larger than a 5.56 I would recommend getting the 20lb weight bag, they say you can fill it up with sand but I filled it with steel bbs and it doesn't even budge with the weight bag
With those hornady loads a 45/70’a recoil isn’t any more then a 30-06. Want kick? I shoot 430 and 500 grain Buffalo bore hardcast magnums out of my guide gun, those got a bit more zip lol
True for combat. For traditional offhand marksmanship (when nobody is shooting back) a high elbow creates a nice big shoulder pocket and promotes a natural head position.
Anyone that handles the action of a rifle that gently is welcome to shoot anything I own.

@@appalachianexploration5714 it wasn't stuck
@@appalachianexploration5714 dude it happened once
@@appalachianexploration5714 so everyone of your shots ejected you first time shoting or you jusy slane everything open just cause
Sometimes operating the action of certain guns can cause issues. Not seating the round all the way in the chamber, light primer strikes..etc.

Yes indeed. Hooked.

Especially the headache you get afterwords
That's a very nice looking rifle. Guaranteed to take down a T-Rex
45-70 actually has bad penetration on big game not recommended

You’re gonna need an anti-tank rifle for prehistoric game

I know he's green but at least he didn't turn around with the barrel pointed at you.

Yea when u see a lever action everyone’s first thought is 3030
