was just thinking today that my .45-70 that i did custom work too which can hold 7+1 would make a good home defense gun with remington 405 or 300 grainers.. the recoil is not too bad and the lever action is fast. I have a red dot on there so it's pretty fast. and knowckown power is obvious

Alright guys, let's not get into end of the world stuff. There are plenty of "Rambo" forums out there.

+1. I don't think that we have to delve into 100 yd gunfights on this forum......they have their place and for me that was '68-'71 (Nam), but I don't think that 100 yd gunfights are an appropriate topic for this forum......firearm self defense options yes, 100 yd gunbattles no.

Just my $.02
