I don't know the model the family Uncle has, but its a short 45-70

Do you remember about how long the barrel was?

I shoot the Win 1885 125th anniversary model in 45-70 and it is great fun. Recoil with a 325 gr bullet at 2200 fps is not bad.

bendable
only about 60 rounds through a marlin .45-70.
was hitting @ 300 yards very regular.
not punishing at all.




Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Have you any experience shooting 12 gauge shotguns?

Its not any worse than that.

I've gotta admit, I've never shot a 12 gauge that weighs only six pounds.
