I don't anticipate any shots longer than 125 yards. What do you guys think? Should I go with a holographic sight like the EOTech 553, or M68? Can those even withstand the recoil a .45-70 generates?
Maybe a 1-3x Leupold? Plain jane iron sights?
All suggestions and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

wow i dont mean to steal your thinder but i have the exact same gun and been having the exact same problem with deciding a scope/site for it.
Although i plan on going for black bear with mine and probably use reloaded ammunition (still with Hornady tips but much more powder
)
