Magnum 12 ga slugs have almost
same velocity as the 405 gr 45-70, and you can often find a used pump gun for $200 or so. Do you really have enough use for it to bother? Got an AR-15? .458 SOCOM, .50 Beowulf, .50 AE uppers can be had for it, same ballistics as a 45-70, lighter gun, faster repeat hits, (bear defense) and the same "feel" as your fighting gun. Not sure about the prices, probably about $500 tho.
