Moloch, not many folks would regard a break action 45-70 as a target rifle, thought some politicians might regard it as an "assault weapon"....
FYI, I had a 45-70 target rifle, an Italian repro rolling block that weighed 11 lbs,had a tang sight and shot into 1 3/4" ETE at 100 yards.That was with tailored handloads.
I also had an H&R in 30-30, 4x Leopold. With handloads, benchwork saw 3" groups at 100 yards, with frequent 2.5" groups. Fun little shooter.
One thing. Have you tried different slugs in yours? I can double group size by switching brands. Testing a few more slugs may find something your shotgun "Likes".....
