What kind of primitive rifle to get??

[Nick1230]

Just trying to get some opinions on what would be the best primitive single shot rifle to get. I'm in the market to get one.

If I was buying another it would be .35, love 45-70 but .35 would be faster and flater

45-70. You can't go wrong!!!

Well if anyone has a used single shot for sale let me know because I'm not set on buying anything and I much rather buy a used gun over a new one. For the right price of course

I have a .444 and have been very pleased with it

Now that the 35 is legal that is your best choice. Why would anyone buy a .444 or a 45-70 when you can legally shoot the 35 whelen? It would be like buying a sling shot when you could shoot a cross bow!

I shoot a 45-70... Its not the softest shooting gun for sure..

The FTF issues with the .35 whelens was resolved a year or two ago, all the new .35's are good to go.

[LPfishnTIM]

all three are good knock down guns, how far you expecting to reach out? the 35 whelen reaches the furthest of the 3 but really most guys don't take shots over 100yds when hunting from a tree stand which all three will work! and those h&r with a scope combos are only $269 and if I was gonna buy a rifle for deer why not buy something you can hunt with a couple extra weeks with?

I like my .444

[bjhooper82]

My brother in law bought a .35 whelen this year and that thing will blow your shoulder off!!!!

Check out the CVA Opitma Elite in 45/70. Sweet shooting gun. Does not kick. Its like shooting a 410. I have shot a H&R. Its kicks like a mule. There is no comparison.

I have the CVA in the .444 and it kicks like a mule. Bruised up my arm sighting in the scope. It does a number on deer though,shot a doe at 120 yards no problem.
