    Yee Blxxdy Ha!

    Shot the 1879 45-70 US Navy Lee this morning! (PMC brass 405 gr lead bullet)

    Impressions:

    SMOOOOOOTH action (maybe moreso than a well used SMLE)

    Crisp single stage trigger

    Sights OK but it shoots about 6" right at 100yd 3-4" 5-shot groups. No 200yd or more yet.

    Bolt handle not too far forward.

    FUN (Did I mention smooth action? Its also really fast cycling!)

    !!!!!! More later
