Lever love...
« on: October 16, 2010, 12:22:08 PM »


Marlin 1895GBL came yesterday.  It sits here with its cousins...Henry .22 LR, Chaparral 1873 Win in .45 Colt, Rossi 1892 Win in .45 Colt, Winchester 1894 (early '50s manufacture) in .30-30.

Took it out today to run a few rounds through it.  The Trapdoor loads I have (405 gr LFN with IMR 3031 run about 1100 fps ) were mild.  The hunting loads I have (405 gr LFN with IMR 4064...I think they run a little around 1750 fps) got your attention but were still very manageable.

Neither of your 45/70 loads are anything to sneeze at, 405 at 1100, maybe a rhino might not fall. Nice set, enjoy. ;) ;D ;D ;D

There must be 50 ways to LOVE your LEVER.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.   :)

I have a Marlin 336 and absolutely love it.  The old discussion about "If you could only grab one gun on a bug-out..."
I'd take my lever gun over any of the high speed, low drag tactical guns in my safes.
