Got a smoking deal on a Marlin .444 today.

[Biggerhammer]

I happened to be at a local gunshop when a gentlemen was consigning some lever action rifles. Picked up a Marlin .444 that was produced in 1971 and has been sitting in a safe since 81. Got it for 450.00, SUPER CLEAN! It's hard to tell it's ever been fired. I have a lever 45-70, I've always wanted a .444 but never went out of my way to get one. This was just a target of opportunity purchase.

Yes, that is factory SISSY ammo I purchased with it. I need to order dies and I'm not waiting for them before I BLAST CHIT with it.

Hahaha! It's not my grass, it's a chicks grass.

This is what my grass looks like now until I flatten a place out and plant some in the spring.

The gun looks like a twin to my Marlin. It is fun to shoot....

Since the man has some of the coolest toys we have to give him a ration about something. Looks like a great brush gun for some bears.

I like the new grass better. More mulies hiding in it.

Yep, that's what the game camera on the post is for, dead center of the last pic. Here's the last buck that was standing down there. Haven't checked the camera since. I m headed up to put a tree stand in that furthest pine back just right off center. I think this .444 should stuff him in the dirt at that range.

Trickster !!!!!

I would think so. Just sit on up there and wait...one to the boiler room and it is done deal.....even with the sissy ammo!

Mr. Biggerhammer,
Do you happen to have or know anybody that has load data for a 458 SOCOM ? Kinda off subject, but caint find diddly squat that might be reliable.
Thanks.
