The Taylor's & Company .45-70 Government 22" Stainless Rifle is a modern reimagining of a classic American cartridge platform, designed for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical professionals seeking reliable large-caliber performance in a manageable package. This lever-action rifle combines historical authenticity with contemporary metallurgy, delivering the stopping power and range that the .45-70 Government cartridge has provided since 1873.
The 22-inch barrel strikes a balance between velocity retention and handling, making it effective for medium to long-range applications while remaining practical in field conditions or vehicle deployment scenarios. The stainless steel construction offers superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional blued finishes, which is essential in humid climates, marine environments, or prolonged storage without active maintenance. This design eliminates pitting and oxidation that can compromise reliability in demanding conditions.
The lever-action mechanism allows for fast, repeatable shot placement while remaining mechanically simple, reducing field-stripping complexity and maintenance burden during extended deployments. Weighing approximately 8 pounds, the rifle maintains a manageable recoil impulse typical of the .45-70 platform while preserving sufficient sight radius and balance for precision shooting.
