And the winner is clear if the firearm and cartridge are the only concerns. The loser is clear if your shoulder is the issue.

Got some time behind the 458SC, it can be the right tool for the job, when I shoot mine I smile, god dam that gotta hurt. The kinetic energy behind this rounds impact is amazing.
It’s a special use tool, not something I would choose to carry daily. Built on a VLTOR matched upper/lower thru a Noveske “ Afgan Barrel 14.5 barrel. I run a hydraulic buffer and a heavy spring for recoil.
Still kicks like a mule.
Don’t have a 45/70, been thinking about one for about a year. I’d like a longer barreled model say 20/24 in for obvious reasons.
