I have had two for some 30 years, a 1H in .45-70 and a 1V in 7mm Rem. Mag. The 1V is one of the most accurate out-of-the-box rifles I've ever owned. Never had to mess with the forearm/hanger on it. That said, many can be helped in that area. Easy to do, and you're not breaking any new ground trying to figure out what to do.
I've never worried about trying to coax the last bit of accuracy out of the .45-70. I load it for power, and it's used for short range work. I've loaded and shot it (offhand) with 500 gr. RN at velocities within 300 fps of the .458 Win. Mag. If you can handle the recoil, it's fun.
