I just don't get it been wanting a Kimber for a long tim.e  . so I took a number and waited and my name is called and asked to see a henry 45/70 all weather I coundnt help my self . I fell in love and did all the paper work and can pick it up tomorrow . so have any of you guys shot or own one of these .

So you bought both the Kimber and the 45/70???  I'm not following you? 

I love my kimber but it is an older one....wouldn't trade it for anything.  I also have a 45/70 (marlin) but it too is very fun and super effective on all sized game animals.  I hope you bought them both.....a person can never have to many guns.

I guess I missed the point I got the 45/70 and not the kimber

I’ve had a marlin 1895 for about 5 or 6 years, lots of fun with lighter loads, but will wear you out in a hurry with the heavy stuff! Would be a great gun for about 90% of the ranges you’d get a shot at on the west side.
