my new toy
« on: June 04, 2013, 10:30:42 PM »
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.

TANNERITE needed for target practice on opening day of each hunting season.

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

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

I bet there is some DNA on that scope  :chuckle:

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

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

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.
