If you were a mercenary in the 1870's which would be your go to rifle?

You can select a rifle regardless of its nation of origin. Would you go for the Martini-Henri or perhaps a Winchester rifle or a Trapdoor? The choice is yours.
 
I'd also go with the 1873 Winchester in 44-40, second choice would be the 1874 Sharps rifle. Sidearm would be a single action Colt Army also in 44-40.
