Hey all. Chris from Maine here. I don't own a marlin lever gun yet but I'm looking into the 45-70 guide gun with the rail and xs peep. I just don't like the stainless. I'm thinking it'll make a good bear rifle.
I currently use my Remington 7600 Carbine 30-06 on bear and deer which is plenty, but my wife doesn't know that so its a good excuse for another rifle. I'm sure all you guys with wives who shoot already know but if the wifey wants a new gun we have plenty of money, and theres always room for one more. When I want a new gun she's like you already have 16 and we really can't afford it lol. So any chance I get to buy one I'll take it.
glad to have you here chris i am new to this site but not new to guns so i want to start off on the right foot and say hello to everyone or at least try to and share posts and conversations welcome aboard
hey chris i have the gun you want but in stainless and it is a beast and super short to boot but holds 6 plus 1 if you need any info i would be glad to let you know my opinion on it.
What's do you think of it? I love carbines so the shorter the better. I may just get it in stainless and have it blacked.
