If anyone is looking for a 45-70 CB,Fountain Firearms,Inc in Houston Texas has one for 650.00.The rifle was just listed today at Guns America.

OUCH!

It seems like anything with "Cowboy" in the designation sells for a serious premium these days. Still it's good to see wood stocked levers shooting 108 year old rounds getting their due in a shooting world awash with synthetic stocks, overbore cartridges, and Hubble-sized scopes.

I looked at one of these at Carter's Country in Houston about 6 weeks ago. They had it for $600.

My wife bought me a .45-70CB last October for $525 and just a whole lot of folks said she gave way too much. I got three deer with it though, so am happy.

At our local Wal-Mart they will "special order" (out of Wal-Mart catalogue) the Cowboy 45-70 for less than that (under $600 but don't remember the exact dollars above $500).

Our Wally World doesn't carry everything that they can get, but will order for non-refundable half down, half on delivery. For instance, I can get a new Marlin 1894C for $360. A local sporting goods store that sells for less than MSRP on just about any gun says that's a good price. They will have to get $400 for the same gun.

I updated the thread title to '45-70' from '47-70,' hope you don't mind....

 

[MightyPirate]

47-70...now there's a round I'd like to try. I agree whole heartedly though, While all the new synthetic stocks may last longer they just don't feel the same as good ole walnut. I like to buy from the mom and pops stores if they aren't to much over wally world though, I figure who needs the money more.

I just bought mine at the White Elephant in Spokane in December for $500 and they had two left.

 

[Marshall Stanton]

Saw one in the Elephant on Sprague in Spokane last week.... 1895CB for around the $500.00 mark as well. Nice gun, great wood, nice finish, well fit.... tempting to be sure.

They're out there much less than the $650.00 price tag.... be watchful and you'll get your price.

God Bless,

How do you blokes sleep at night ???? in the knowlage that your firearms are so cheap compared .With the firearms in AUZ

 

[koolaid39]

Walmart is the hidden secret in the firearms industry. Most people I know are too proud to buy their guns from a Walmart. I could care less about where my guns are purcahased.

By the way, their specail order catolog is on their website under the sporting goods section.
