Go with the 44mag. Cheaper components, easier to shoot, and would be exactly what you need for what you described

I agree, especially when you mention "competition". The 45/70 is a big caliber to use in comps. My uncle Quickdraw Art does Cowboy Action shooting and loads pretty light loads. They just don't need a ton of power for that type of comp. I am guessing that with a lever you might be doing Cowboy Action. If you are going to dial the 45/70 down you just as well go with the .44 mag which you would also probably dial down. Good luck!

Darn, didn't see the 2nd page of posts. Lol, already got the .44 mag. Well, good deal.
