Thread: 45/70 Marlin 1895SBL

I have the 1895 SBL , the 1895 Dark , and the 1894 CST.

Where to start.

The 325gr leverevolution Flextips I have used in them go well on deer, I shot three at 25m, 85m, and 100m respectively last Sunday and they all dropped like like a tonne of bricks. (One was a very messy headshot)

The boot honestly isn't that bad when shooting at animals - from a bench it's a punisher.

I threw a DPT can on the Dark , and honestly I can say it has almost no effect on perceived noise the only difference being reduction of felt recoil and muzzle rise.

Haven't tried Subsonics yet, but that is on the cards eventually.

Build quality is excellent , and I have to say the stainless is extremely weather resistant , whereas the Dark is not so much and requires more oiling.

The 1894 is fun little plinker, too.
