C series can be anywhere from 75-79, you can dial it in on the table at the top of the vintage section.
I had a 170 in 35, loved it but just wasn't using it enough. It's a tube feed like any 12 ga shotgun you've ever had, it cycles the same way.
Try to stay away from the Hornady lever evolution as they pack a real punch to the shoulder in those guns, I stick with the regular Remington fodder. Still shoot 35 Rem but in a Stevens model 425 now.
The 170 takes the same scope mounts as the Remington 760 so they're not hard to find, a peep sight might be though. I have a couple here but I think they'll have to be drilled and tapped to be mounted cause they're side mounted.
They tend to cycle better than the same gun in 30-30 because it's not a rimmed case, I personally believe the lip of the casing was hanging up when being loaded.
