[QUOTE="brentona, post: 138782, member: 1101"] Anyone else out there got one? It's in cold storage at the moment so I don't have a picture of my PERSONAL rifle, but here is the model: [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i29.photobucket.com/albums/c255/secondhandsatire/marlin1895gs.jpg[/IMG] Stainless and walnut is such a classy look. This gun makes the brass on my shooting table jump from the force of that 45/70 leaving the barrel. It makes [i]people[/i] jump at indoor ranges and always gets a look (either one of disapproval from the noise biotches or ones of envy 'cause of its power). The only complaints I have are: 1.) the front site shade got knocked off due to recoil and was lost in tall grass 2.) Not the kick, it's like a 3.5" mag slug, but the muzzle jump. Now both those problems are easily remedied: -- magna porting to reduce barrel jump -- and I'm going to get a scout mount and drop a Leupold FX-II on it A nice feature with the sights : they fold down so you don't have to remove them entirely to mount a scope. I prefer to fire Hornady LeveRevolutions (305gr) if not shooting handloads [/QUOTE]
