I think the cowboy craze that started 20 years ago reignited interest in the old calibers. Many 45-70 guns are being made. I have two myself so they must be pretty popular.

This one kicks the bejeebers out of me due to ligh5t weight.

This one is more pleasant and will shoot cloverleafs at 50 yards with any bullet from 250 grain lead for the 45 Colt to 500 gran round nose.
