I feel like .30-06 is stronger. Never shot a .45-70 but I have a feeling .30-06 has More of a kick

.45-70 factory loads kick about like a stout 12 gauge slug shell.
That said what are you doing with it? Hunting?
Because for plinking .45-70 is stupid expensive.
For a centerfire levergun plinker I think .357 is the way to go. I want a Winchester 94' Trapper carbine in .357 myself.

You’re right. I’m plinking... I don’t hunt.

I haven't hunted with my 1895 yet. I definitely plan to this season. BUT, I also acquired an AR-10 that needs some blood on it so it will be a tough choice! Maybe the 1895 gets to take a pig next spring...
