Love that rifle.

I've got a Marlin 1895guide gun in .450 Marlin.

It's like that rifle on steroids.

That sounds like it'd knock your inners loose.

I'm trying to get to some sort of standardization for long-term purposes. I'd like to not stock 15 to 20 calibers. Garrison Commander is clinging to her 627 and I don't have enough of a death wish to take it. All this talk about revolvers recently has me looking at SP101s or KLCR for a bugout bag revolver. If I'm already feeding a bunch of .357 revolvers - why not get a 1894C?

Josey, we can't find .22LR, but I bet you can just walk into Academy and buy .450 Marlin, huh?

When scouting I used to carry a 586, 8-3/8 barrel, loaded with Federal Hydra Shocks 158 Gr. JHP. Killed three does grave yard dead. One at 45 paces, one at 70 paces the other I didn't step it off. A well placed 357 round will do the job.

I normally shoot a Model 29 8-3/8 barrel, Pro Point Scope, Loaded with 32 Grs. Winchester 296 powder and a Hornady 180 Gr. HP bullet. Most kills in the 30-50 yard range. Longest 122 yards measured.
