Here is something that might interest you about the 74 Shiloh a few years ago my father in law sent his 40-65 back to the factory to have it re-barreled to 45-70. The rifle was sent back
at no charge. And I have heard about this from more than a couple of people.
Kurt and Lucinda run a very fine business and do stand behind their products.
I have owned one 74 Shiloh and it was a great shooting rifle.
I currently have a 1885 C Sharps in 45-70 and it is a very fine shooter as well.
As for as 74's go my choice would be the Shiloh.
