Signature .45-70 Semi-Automatic
A.Cayce Signature Series - .45-70 Auto
The 45-70 Auto cartridge is the brainchild of the Owner and Founder of Phoenix Weaponry, Aaron Cayce.
Born from the original 45-70 government developed in the 1873, this modernized cartridge steps into the modern hunting game generating in excess of 4,000 ft-lb of energy at the muzzle.
This is a beautiful build combining the old world look with the blued finish and solid wood furniture and a modern sporting rifle. Pretty enough for your mantel and chambered in our 45-70 auto cartridge that will handle anything on the continent. Sub 1/2 minute accuracy. Complete with a Titanium suppressor. Just let us know what kind of wood and grade you like along with color and we will make you one of these works of art.
This cartridge because of its straight wall also fills the requirements for hunting with a semi auto rifle in the states of Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan.
