Nice. Have always liked the Marlins. What caliber is yours? I would love to have one in 45/70.

Yes, it’s a 45/70. A big, fat, rather slow moving bullet perfect for the woods. Not any good over 200 meters, but where we hunt, 50 meters would be a long shot.

Was looking at the 444, but went with the old standard.

As I get older, I value the “older” tried and true things. The new superfast narrow rounds are great, but even a small twig will deflect them in the dense woods.
