The .45-70 MP-221 is good handling 7 pounder for not a lot of money. I have one centerfire Winchester 70, but as I said for all practical purposes it is single shot rifle with magazine box serving as cartridge wallet. With the SxS rifle I have two shot rifle which is wonderful when shooting at game at close range in the brush. When I find one I will buy it and I may even mount one of them fancy Swedish dot sights on it. They are very small and battery last very, very long time even if one forgets to turn it off. Extractors are not hinderance because for all practical purposes one only has two shots anyway. I laugh when I see pic guys holding two cartridges between their fingers when shooting double rifles. Do they think they will have enough time to reload when being charged by dangerous animal at close range? I have no problem with concept of meeting Jesus little sooner than my age would suggest. They should also do the same.
