I dearly wanted one of those when it came out in the 70s. I later got a Marlin 45-70 and shot stiff loads (with added fat Decelerator pad). I quickly realized I was glad I didn't have the 6 pound No 3 with the steel butt plate.

i have shot quite a few deer with my #3 in 45-70 and altho it shows alot of honest hunting wear there are no pits-rust. i would not sell my well worn #3 for that. target was shot at 100 yards from the bench with 50 grs H-4198 and a 300 gr hornady bullet.

stump was shot at 300 yards, just to see if i could hit it. i think i was holding about 3-4 feet above it.

If my memory serves me (Careful statement with only once cup of coffee today) that they can be restocked with a #1 butt and fore end and that will help with weight and fit alot.
