Who has more than one 45-70?
And why? I have one Marlin 1895SS, and have an itch to have an 1895 CB, and possibly a Guide Gun. Does this make sense? Why do you have more than one?
We'll be remembered for what we've done, not what we have.

Four here.........1895GS all scout scoped and ghost ringed
1895 CB with a Marbles Tanger
USRAC 1886 With a Layman
BFR 10" with a Burris SpeedDot
I absolutely want a Shilo Sharps in 45-70, as well, and possibly another BFR chopped to 5". I feel a yearning for a couple more 1886s, too......Just can't have too many 45-70s

Well I do. The first one is a Winchester Model 1886 extra light takedown made in 1901. The thing I like about this one is that it is a take-down .... you never know when a compact package will be handy. Here's a photo ...
The second one is a Winchester Model 1886 made in 1904, with a full octagon barrel and a half mag. I won't part with this one either because of how I came to acquire it as well as I just plain love the feeling of handling, shooting, and hunting with this vintage old rifle with an honest history. Here's a photo ....

There is the 23" Contender Carbine, the Encore Carbine and the handy H&R Handi-Rifle.
I have owned several others over the years, but never have I owned a .45-70 repeater. I once was pretty quick with my RB .45-70 reloading, and I ain't too slow with getting the Handi-Rifle reloaded, either.
However, should I ever get the opportunity to go after bears again, there should be a Marlin in my future.
Grace and Peace.

Yes, because they come in different barrel lengths.

I have two Ballards (#4 & #5) a Rem. Hepburn, two 1881 Marlins, and one 1896 vintage model 1895 Marlin.
Why more than one .45-70? Because they make them in more than one model and brand of rifle!

Pre WWI Marlins and Singleshot rifles!

Right now, I have:
- Marlin 1895CB -- my absolute favorite 45-70.
- Marlin 1895 Unported Guide Gun; soon to go on the block
- Winchester repro 1886 ELC; a definite keeper, close second to the 1895CB
- Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Sporting Rifle; straight stock, 32" full octagon tang and barrel sights. IIRC, the Germans had two of these in the movie "The Guns of Navarrone" that were blown up at the end of the movie.
