Bolt action centerfire with tube magazine?

Watching a Tom Selleck movie, crossfire trail. The hired gun is using a bolt action with a tubular magazine. Looked to be loading straight wall cartridges from the bottom. The action looked kinda like a Mauser to me.
Any idea what this is?
Never mind, I found it. It's a Remington Keene rifle chambered in 40 60.

I searched bolt action center fire tubular magazine and got mostly 22 rimfire stuff. I searched rifles used in crossfire trail and imbd said it was the Remington Keene in 40-60.

I looked up the 1883. The Keene used in the movie had the magazine under the barrel like most lever actions. At any rate, I've got more knowledge than I had an hour ago.

I thought the Rm. Keene was made in 45-70
FWIW I think it is The only bolt action US made rifle with a hammer
IIRC it is legal for NRA BPCR because of the hammer,

I watched the first half of that movie last night, then fell asleep, I hope they play that movie again, as they usually do. That looked to be a good one. Selleck's character was shooting a Win 1876, right?

It was made in 45 70, but according to the interwebz it was also chamered in 40 60

I remember seeing that movie years ago. And I did the same thing. As soon as it was over, I was digging thru my books to figure out what that rifle was.
