Talk:Young Guns II

The historical inaccuracies in the Young Guns pictures are legion, for they are many. But that's for some other website. There is a weapon not mentioned here from YGII, and that is an interesting rifle carried by John W. Poe (Viggio Mortensen) "from the cattleman's association" (the Sante Fe Ring actually) whom the ring has sent to be Garrett's deputy and make sure he fulfills the commission of killing Billy The Kid. Poe's rifle is a bolt action with a telescopic sight, similiar in appearance to the Remington-Keene used in Joe Kidd by the Mingo character and by James Gregory in The Sons of Katie Elder. I think that the leader of the Indians that Garrett's party encounters when his reporter friend Ash saves them by being able to speak the Indian's dialect, is carrying an 1866 "Golden Boy" Winchester as well as some of the Kid's gang.

Please help ID this rifle

What is the bolt action rifle that John W. Poe (Viggo Mortensen) uses in the film? Some people have guessed that it might be a 1879 Hotchkiss? Any guesses? --Ben41 18:31, 18 June 2011 (CDT)
