Oakview2- Haven't seen the Henry 45-70, but own and love my Marlin 45-70! It'll handle the heavier loads according to reports with the best of the lever actions! I reload and like the Buffalo loads (?) found in Cabelas. 400g @ 2000fps. Rightous!
But, I have to confess, stock was a bit short, so I put a white line shotgun pad on it, still too short so put a slip on pad over that. Trigger length is fine now. Want to call me a wuss? go ahead and probably right, but when shooting, I want to shoot it more than one or two shots at a session.
Found this inside a rock i smashed open awhile back. I have know idea what it is and kinda joined this place to find out. any help would be excellent. found it by a river in a mountainous region of washington. before i cleaned it up there were tiny little garnet looking crystals in a few areas. so timy though you needed magnification to see them. its not magnetic. its not real heavy. and i couldnt melt it with a torch. hope that helps a bit.
? Good Hunting and good health...
