Mongo, I am sure Kirk will reply but your rifle looks exactly like my 45-2.6 Long Range Express.

Long Range Express was my guess but I'd like to know for sure, doesn't really matter but just wanting to know.

While we're on the subject (and new to the forum) having too many years behind me and wanting a Shiloh .45-70, I recently bid on and won the bid for a Shiloh, .45-70, 34" Bbl, pewter "nose", long range tang sights (don't have the gun in hand yet) with windage adjustable globe type front sight and "plastic" butt plate...with SR # B2481...
Can anyone please give me an proximate date of Mfg?
I sure would like to change out that "plastic" butt plate...that's how it was described on the auction site.
