Yep, the day they dropped the physical requirements to be an officer was the day it all went south. An 8-month pregnant, 24-year old girl trying to physically arrest a 44-year old, 6' rapist? Recipe for disaster.

"Surveillance video showed him grabbing her service revolver, a .40-caliber Glock, and shooting her 15 times in the head and body."

Looks like Hillary might be the Dem's choice in November. Glad I got all the rifles I want on the HR1022 ban list. How 'bout you? :D

Ruger No. 1 45-70 Govt.

I've never owned a true "long gun" before. A very long time ago, when the infamous ban was first announced, I came close to purchasing a Galil. I ended up with the Uzi instead, and that is the "longest" gun I own.

Recently, I have been intrigued by the old classic Martini-Henry single shots, in the .45 Boxer-Henry. I would think the "modern" equivalent would be something like the Ruger No. 1 in .45-70 Govt. Obviously this is just a toy, and will just be used for fun shooting at the range using open sights.

Does anybody have experience and/or opinions on this rifle and/or cartridge?

Thanks.
 
The Ruger No. 1 is a hunting gun, designed to be packed through the woods and shot very infrequently - just once per animal. It is very small and light, which means it doesn't soak up recoil very well.

If you want a good single-shot in .45-70 that'll be fun to shoot at the range, check out http://www.shilohrifle.com/ or any of the Italian clones from Uberti, Navy Arms, etc.
