You might want to actually look at a 73 Old Tuff, it was designed for pistol calibers so the 45-70 is WAY out of its league. I agree with Mike, 44-40 or 45 Colt would be far better than the 357.

I would like one but only in a 45/70 or a 44 magnum,no light weights for this Oldman.

Too bad they didn't bring back some of the original calibers.
