..........are those sissy loads compared to the 450 Marlin ?

[washelkhunter]

Very nice. Is that the 24" barrel, and whos stamp is on it?

[yorketransport]

Good find! I have a Guide Gun in 444 which is currently on loan to my brother. I had a 12" Contender barrel and a 10" BFR in 444 as well. It's a great round once you get up into the 300gr bullets. With the right handloads, I'd say it's just as good as any 45-70 loads out of a lever gun.

I wouldn't laugh too much at the Hornady ammo. That stuff is significantly better than anything Remington ever offered.

do they kick the crap outta you?

[threedwizard]

I've had one for about 15 years now and have killed deer, bear, and elk. My father-in-law killed his moose with it. All kills using the 240 grain Remington factory ammo. I load up barnes bullets now and it is a great deer/bear gun at medium ranges. Clean looking gun and a good price. Yes, they have some kick to them, but not too much.

I am not much of a lever guy and don't know about the 2 rounds. But isn't that pic backwards? Isnt the 45-70 on the left and the 444 on the right? Or are my eyes just playing tricks on me?

[washelkhunter]

Yup. The image is flipped i guess.

[carpsniperg2]

  Like I said I am not much into the lever guns. Plus I have always know hammer is a little backwards, but I just had to ask

Anyways For what I have seen them sell at the shows. I think it was a good deal. I passed up a stainless 45-70 for 550.00 one of the last shows I went to. I thought it was a great deal and like new in the box. Maybe I should have bought it

[Biggerhammer]

Yep, ass backwards! The 45-70 is on the left.
