What do you do with your 45-70?

Thanks for all the info, havent been on that site yet. I saw people had mentioned a few simiths who specialize in the Marlin levergun dept. Anyone care to repeat their names/company?

I don't know what to do with it. I have had it for 4 years and haven't shot it yet! I'm thinking bears and feral hogs, but I can't get a bear tag yet and the hogs are on the other side of the state.

I use this one for lobbing pumpkin sized chunks of lead in curving arcs with clouds of smoke. It's fun, too.

Back when I hunted them.....my go-to bunny gun was my 45-70 loaded with cast 300gr round nose. My friends laughed, but if you aim for the eye, it's a hit or miss deal. I've even popped a few crows with it.....
