I for one like the idea of an adfordable double rifle. If it has to be re made on a shotgun frame so be it, as long as it is done right. For years we have heard and seen conversions on Ruger Red Lables, and those with some pretty hefty cartridges. If they can be made safetly in 45-70 or even upto 45-120 or such, it seems a Great idea to me...especially if it can be done under $1000 on my gun.
Theres nothing in the lower 48 states I wouldnt feel comfortable tracking with a 45-120 or a good 45-70 for that matter. Even Taylor sings the praises of gauge rifles on soft skin game. I like most of us dreamers wont be heading to Africa any time soon; but theres something about a double rifle that makes the hunt hunt better.
Now the question is what SxS do I send him........?
