1895, I look forward to exploring your site. Wasn't aware Rossi had a .45-70.
I have heard good things about the accuracy of their .30-30.
Mick, have you ever tried to run .44 Russian through any of the Rossi .44s? Wonder if they would feed.

I'd love to see a vintage baseball game sometime.
The last two MLB games I saw in person were in August of 1969, Giants against the Cubs, at Candlestick Park. Willie Mays hit home run 597 in the first game and 598 in the second. Even then, the hokey stadium organ was annoying.
