Let me tell you how it works.As you contemplate the choices, you subconscious assigned the necessary primal forces to make the numbers come up to equal  45-70. ::)  or you are just convinced that the 45-70 will do anything you need it to do. ::)     Doug

because I'm a big bore fan I should be using the 45-70 and I do.......at times but I got to admit it is a struggle to leave that Rem 760 carbine sitting in the safe and the 45-70 doesn't win all the time.

Well, I have neglected to pick up a 45-70 yet (mea culpa!), but I have a hard time choosing between the 35 whelen I put together myself on an old Savage 110 action (and stock - back when they actually had pretty stocks like the ones that they used to put on the 99s), and the Rem 760 C that I had Wayne York rebore to 338-06 with a sweet new crown on it; or my old Marlin 35 Rem from back in the days when Marlin put on a more slender stock that looks a lot more like a Winnie; or the light and handi H&R 500 S&W magnum, that I finally did some Mcphersonizing on and shoots pretty darn straight....Decisions, decisions...decisions.  I am downright glad to have to make them, though.  Rich

The two I see as pretty much universal cartridges are the 338-06 and the Whelen.
