The rifle is an original Remington rolling block receiver with a new Green Mountain 30" heavy barrel, chambered in .45-120. Yeah, I believe that would cleanly take a deer.
Beautiful work, though after trying it with the original buttstock, he got a replacement and put a recoil pad on it. Even with the weight, "That steel buttplate had to go."
I'll see if can get a decent picture of it in the future.

Hope he went with a flat butt plate, 45-120 won't be short on recoil.
Ugh…steel. Not a lot of give in that.
Reminds me of my Browning O/U that had a “recoil pad” that could have doubled as a hockey puck.
K.
Grandpa's old lightweight 16 gauge had a recoil pad that had turned into something like a few layers of hard rubber. Putting a new one on made a world of difference.
45-120....would take the deer and 3 more behind it. That's a lot of rifle.
Said the full load is 110 grains of 1f powder and a 530-grain bullet. You could take anything in North America, and realistically almost anything in the world with that.
