Taylor's & Co. & Company 210317 .45-70 Govt 19" 6-Round Rifle

The Taylor's & Co. & Company 210317 .45-70 Govt 19" 6-Round Rifle represents a modern interpretation of the classic lever-action platform purpose-built for hunting, sport shooting, and tactical applications where reliable, hard-hitting performance is non-negotiable. This rifle fills the role of precision intermediate-range rifle for operators and hunters who demand accuracy and stopping power in a compact, maneuverable package. The .45-70 Government cartridge has proven itself across more than 150 years of military and civilian use, and this purpose-designed lever-action configuration delivers that legendary ballistic capability in a modern tactical context.

The 19-inch barrel provides optimal velocity and handling characteristics for the .45-70 Government round, balancing muzzle energy with maneuverability in tight shooting environments and vehicles. The 6-round magazine capacity supports extended engagement without frequent reloading, while the lever-action mechanism—with its manual cycling—offers fail-safe operation independent of gas systems or complex bolt carriers, making it ideal for harsh environments and extreme weather conditions. Weighing 11.1 pounds, this rifle maintains reasonable field carry weight while delivering the substantial kinetic energy the .45-70 platform is renowned for, with minimal recoil management demands compared to larger magnum cartridges. The compact overall length of 51.1 inches makes it suitable for vehicle transit, close-quarters tactical deployment, and dense terrain where longer modern rifles prove impractical.

This rifle serves law enforcement tactical teams, civilian hunters, sport shooters, and preparedness-minded operators who prioritize simplicity and proven mechanical reliability over modern ergonomic refinements. The .45-70 Govt platform performs exceptionally in medium-range hunting applications, particularly for larger game and barrier-blind scenarios where deep penetration and energy transfer matter more than velocity. Compatibility is straightforward—standard .45-70 Government ammunition from any reputable manufacturer will function reliably, and the 6-round capacity allows flexible loading of different bullet weights and designs based on mission requirements or game type. The lever-action cycling provides natural point-of-aim recovery and allows rapid follow-up shots without breaking sight picture, making this rifle effective for both precision work and dynamic shooting scenarios.
