Gotta love a wife that feeds your passion!I know I’m a little late to the party…
My wife just purchased for my B Day a Marlin 1894 SS 44 Mag. I’ve been wanting one for years. I’ll be cleaning and shooting it today. Plan on reloading for this rifle. I’ve got some homework to do first.
Also in the safe is-
Savage 99 in a 300 Sav
Henry 22WMR - that has been a blast to shoot.
I had a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem that I traded years ago that I on occasion wish I had not let go.
Yes I am !Gotta love a wife that feeds your passion!
Lucky to have one too!
I have a Glenfield in 30/30 that is JM stamped. It is and always has been a really good shooter with a great trigger. I own 4 marlin levers, this is one of my favorites. There is a crazy story behind this gun, but I'll never let it leave the family.View attachment 25916
I really like the doggone ol' 30-30, particularly in the Marlin rifle. The Glenfield pictured is just a low-budget Marlin, and my goodness, I surely do appreciate it.
Regards, Guy

My Dad bought it for my brother as is his first. We were short on a lot of things growing up, so at one point my brother and I both hunted with this gun. I took a turkey at 225 yard with it one fall, it was our thanksgiving bird. If we didn't get one, we weren't having turkey on turkey day. Rested off my Dad's shoulder. Dad ended up selling it to a member at work to pay some bills. 20 years later the guy asked Dad if he wanted it back for the same money he sold it at (125 usd). He said yes. Here the employee knew he was dying and wanted Dad to have it back. Two weeks later he passed, his wife gave my Dad an envelope, the money was in it and a sticky note said the gun was always yours glad I could help my friend.
It was rusted, scratched, and the action hung up. Dad had me redo the gun and get it back to top shape. I worked on it while we were out in our cabin for February. Took it all down, cold blued it, cleaned the action, redid the stock, and put a new scope and sling on it. I bore sited it and took it out to shoot. A few shots and it's spot on at 100. Shoots and cycles rounds like a dream!
I gave it back to him and November that year he handed it to me while we were on a hunt. Said see if you can hit one of those hogs on that hill. So I did, in the eye, from 210 yards out on the rangefinder. Didn't think i would actually get him and wanted to ensure I missed completely, turns out my elevation guess was spot on. When i handed it back to him he said, it's yours.. as long as you give it to one of your kids when the time comes. His initials are on the butt stock, other than that and the tiger strips, its original parts.
PS - sorry if the hog picture is too much for this site, new and still learning.
