my new toy

[phishisgroovin]

Marlin 1895G in 45/70 Gov...
cant wait to take the scope off and go blasting.

Only a max of 5 shots down the pipe.

Nice, that caliber is on my bucket list to own. It'll look great once that scope is gone.

Awesome gun! I would change out the scope mounts asap before it takes your eyebrow off 

[bowhunterforever]

those are sweet guns

[newbs55]

Thats the next new toy on my list! No scope and stainless wood stalk though.

Yeah, that scope placement looks dangerous.  Especially with 45/70.

Nice gun though!

I have similar version but a SS Guide Gun. I like the red fiber optic sights. Do yourself a favor and invest in a good "Limb Saver" butt pad.

I've got the SS guide gun with iron sights.  Wife took her first deer with it a few years back.  Great gun

Nice grab! I have wanted one for sooooooo long! I had a buddy who sold his but didn't call me first ...we don't talk anymore

[JohnVH]

how the heck they even shoot it with the scope that far back, must be why they are selling it, haha.. never shot a 45/70 rifle yet, but its alot of fun to shoot in my contender pistol!

I bet there is some DNA on that scope 

Is there hair/skin and dried blood under the scope cap? 

[Orion88]

N ice...definitely take the scope off (accident waiting to happen or already happened and that is why it was sold).   

[PNW_Hunter]

Sweeeeeet! 

Take that scope off and that's one awesome gun!

Haha, the picture reminds me of a family friend who doesn't know a whole lot about guns (though he thinks he does) and has an attitude of tricking everything out (especially his truck) and owning the biggest baddest thing he can.

He acquired a Marlin 30-30 and proceeded to mount a big fancy tacticool scope with an illuminated reticule...  I think he thought a 30-30 was a 500+ yard gun, not a 200 yard woods/brush gun...  My dad and I had a good laugh after we took him to the range to sight it in.
