Traditions CR471130T Outfitter .45-70 Govt 22" 1-Round Rifle

The Traditions CR471130T Outfitter .45-70 Govt 22" break-action rifle delivers authentic, reliable performance for hunters and shooters who demand proven stopping power and rugged simplicity. Purpose-built for medium to large game, this single-shot platform represents the core of what has worked for over 150 years in the field. The break-action design appeals to purists and tactical marksmen alike who value clarity of sight picture, minimal moving parts, and the certainty that comes with a mechanically straightforward firearm.

At 7.8 pounds and measuring 42.3 inches overall, the Outfitter maintains a compact, balanced profile ideal for hunting from blinds, stalking timber, or sustained defensive use. The 22-inch barrel chambers the legendary .45-70 Government cartridge—a round renowned for deep penetration, bone-breaking energy, and performance at intermediate to extended ranges where precision matters. The single-round capacity, while limited, eliminates distractions and forces disciplined shot placement, a core tenet of responsible marksmanship. Traditions' manufacturing standards ensure tight tolerances and consistent ignition, critical factors in break-action reliability.

This rifle suits hunters pursuing elk, moose, and heavy-bodied dangerous game, as well as precision shooters and sport hunters who reload for the .45-70 and value economy and customization. Law enforcement and private security personnel operating in brush or vehicle environments benefit from the compact footprint and the cartridge's barrier-blind terminal performance. The break-action platform accepts aftermarket scopes and optics via standard Weaver or Picatinny rails on many aftermarket mounts, allowing integration with modern optic systems while preserving the rifle's mechanical integrity and ease of maintenance in the field.
