Browning 45/70

[Hevi-shot]

Anyone have any experience with the older Browning 45/70? I've only held them at gun shows, and they looked beautiful to me. I really dig the rolling/falling block (can't remember the appropriate description). I have no experience with this weapon and would greatly appreciate any input. Is the gun worth saving for? Is it accurate? Any mechanical issues I should be aware of? Thanks.

Don't know anything about the browning but I have a Marlin 1895 lever action. I don't hunt with it but I send a few rounds down range a couple times a year.
