Sweet looking rifle. Long

So with the new Marlin 45-70 lever, I don't plan to reload for some time. Can anyone tell me what manufactured ammo has done well for you? One other question. I have some Winchester 405gn cowboy action cartridges. Shoot slower at under 1200fps. Will these cause leading problems in my...

I wouldn't have minded a straight 4x in a smaller scope package, but the 20mm just made me wonder about FOV and light transmission as my eyes aren't what they used to be. Long

Yep, it worked out well. Now to get one that should fit easily in my new Marlin 1895 45-70...the trigger is bad......... Long

Well I ordered the Leupy VX3 in the 1.75-6 x32. Happy birthday to me.....in April. Long

And it sounds like some of you think there is a world of difference between a Leupy vx2 and the vx3 besides 100.00.. How much difference is what I'm wondering? I am going to start looking for a scope for my Marlin 45-70 and was considering the vx2 in a 4x. On my 1952 Marlin 30-30 I just put...

Here in the U.P it's been a very hard winter with the cold temps and snow. The last time we had something like this was back in the early 90's and we lost probably half the deer in the U.P The following few years guys could hunt the whole season and never see a deer. Add now the very high...

There is just something I like about a nice wheel gun. And that, is a nice one. I've looked at the J.M 45 but never "pulled the trigger" so to speak. Very nice. Long

So what would be the best base and rings? Long

Well if you go to Marlin Owners there can't be any rifle made after Remington took over that is any good at all. Seems almost cult like over there. So I'll see if this is the 1st "Marlington" ever to shoot. :?) Long

Its just the plain 1895. Wood and blue. 22" barrel. I think the trigger will be the 1st thing to get taken care of. Long

Well the itch is scratched. Had to go down to Indiana and happened to stop in a Gander Mtn. Amazingly they had the 45-70 in the 22" barrel. Price was actually good and they had plenty of ammo. I was doing a good job of being strong about holding off, but when I could actually handle one it...

I've used the foam for years. Really like it. See no down side. Long

Almost pulled the trigger today. My boss and I were talking about the 45-70 and he called a gun store in the area. Asked for a price etc....I told him to ask if we'd get a discount if we bought 2. They said yes and I said "order em". He just told them thanks and hung up as he wasn't sure he...

Nice. Long

Wow, glad you made it ok. I know even with Michigan hunting, things can happen and so I carry extra items in my daypack for such situations. But, I have to admit I never think of bringing water with me. Always leave a bottle in the truck. After all it is Michigan and I'm rarely more than 1/2...

Final update. My smith could not get the WW trigger to fit so he called WW in Alaska. After talking to them they wanted pics. After that they said they had never seen anything like that before, maybe they don't come across too many 1952 Marlin 30-30's. My smith ended up sending the...

I saw one of the models (can't remember the model) stainless, Lam stock, big loop, 18.5" barrel, in 45-70 tonight at a local shop. It looked pretty cool, except I'm kind of a wood/blue guy. I think the price tag was in the $800.00 range. Long

Beautiful area. Long

I can't believe it but I'm looking at guns again.... I've mentioned before about a Marlin lever and now am starting to look at em again. I am leaning towards 35 Rem but might consider 45-70. I was wondering if you men with experience with these calibers might give me the pros/cons of each...
