I'm leaning towards picking up one of the Winchester High Wall 45-90 repros out of Japan that Davidson's had made up. I figure to shoot smokeless 45-70 or maybe reload 45-90 (smokeless) and shoot that. I know these are stamped Black Powder Only but Texasmac, who wrote the book on them, says they are safe with smokeless as far as he is concerned. ( Scroll down page here for details on that)
I have noticed that the Creedmore with the tang mounted vernier sight and the globe front comes in barrel lengths ranging from 28 to 30, 32 and 34. So far looking at gunbroker I haven't seen the 34" but I'm thinking that would be best for long range target shooting. I'm a seasoned handgunner but not knowledgeable beyond the rudimentary in rifles. Any feedback would be appreciated.
