The Traditions Outfitter G3 in .45-70 Government strips big-game hunting down to the basics and does it well. This is a break-action, single shot cartridge rifle with a clean, blued 22" fluted chromoly steel barrel that keeps the whole package light and easy to carry through timber and thick cover. Chambered in a cartridge that has been dropping heavy game since the 1870s, it pairs old-school stopping power with a modern, simple-to-run platform. Best of all, this configuration comes as a complete scope package, so there's less fuss between unboxing and opening day.
At the heart of this rifle is the Elite XT trigger system, built with a rebounding hammer and a manual cross block safety. One of the handier touches is that the action can be broken open with the cross bolt safety engaged, letting you load, unload, or check the chamber without second-guessing yourself. Up front, the barrel wears Traditions' QD forend, which pops off with the press of a button for quick breakdown and easy storage or transport. The single shot design keeps things trim and encourages you to make that first round count, which is the whole point of a thumper like the .45-70.
This model ships with a 3-9×40 Duplex scope mounted and bore-sighted by a factory-trained technician. Bore-sighting is not the same as a true zero, so you'll still want to confirm point of impact at the range before you head afield, but it gets you in the ballpark and saves you the headache of starting from scratch. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so swapping optics down the road is straightforward if you ever want to change things up.
The .45-70 shines inside a couple hundred yards, throwing big, heavy bullets that hit hard on deer, hogs, bear, and larger game. For treestand hunters, brush-country whitetail chasers, or anyone who likes the simplicity of a single shot, the Outfitter G3 is a straightforward, dependable way to put one good round where it counts.
Yes. This package model ships with a 3-9×40 Duplex scope that has been mounted and bore-sighted by a factory-trained technician. Keep in mind bore-sighting gets you close but is not a true zero, so plan to confirm your point of impact at the range before hunting.
It's a single shot rifle, so it holds one round at a time. You break the action open, load a cartridge, and you're ready. The design keeps the rifle light and simple, and it rewards good, deliberate shot placement.
This configuration features a blued 22" fluted chromoly steel barrel. The fluting helps shave weight so the rifle stays easy to carry and quick to the shoulder in the field.
Absolutely. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so changing optics down the road is a simple job. The included 3-9×40 is a solid all-around hunting scope, but you've got the flexibility to upgrade if your needs change.
