H&R Buffalo Classic

Folks,

 

Down here in MS we can hunt with singles-shot exposed hammer rifles, as long as the caliber is larger than .35, during primitive weapon season.

 

Am looking to pick up something for my wife to use and I'm not sure how comfortable she would be with a .45/70.

 

I can only locate .45 Colt chambered rifles in the Buffalo Classic.

 

Does the Buffalo Classic come drilled & tapped for a scope base?

Thanks - that's what I was kinda figgerin'...

You can also consider looking at the Remington Rolling Block, or clones, in 38-55. She should be able to handle that with no trouble.

Here's an item or two to check out:

 

Lyman Sharps

 

Cheaper that Dirt has 'em for a LOT less than the "MSRP..."

 

Or:

 

Chiappa "Li'l Sharps"

 

Among other calibers it is available in .45 Colt... as is the one sold by Taylor's:

 

Taylor's Half-Pint Sharps

The 38-55 is much more lady friendly and I am told it may have killed as many deer as the 30-30. I have let several ladies shoot mine and they did quite well.

Thanks for the info guys. It looks like I'll be staying with one of the sythetic H&R's or NER's in order to mount a scope.

 

I have my eyes on a couple in .357 MAg & .44 Mag.

 

At the distance we shoot, either will be more than adequate to bring down a deer.
