    I agree with @Solo - I think a small 1-6 or scout type scope looks great on lever action rifles. Loved the 1895sbl in the movie "Wind River".

    Each to their own, if everybody liked the same thing life would be boring.

    True that!
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I had to use some raw umber oil paint on the stock to get it the same colour as the rest, and one area that needs a touch just below the bolt, will do that one day... but otherwise came out ok.

    I’m surprised how the jungle carbine is not a whole lot shorter than the No4.

    The old man said the carbines had a mean kick compared to the No4. (Which after the M1 carbine was his weapon on choice in the jungle)

    And I don't like the way scout scopes make them look

    I guess i like the look of dark marlin both ways-and both with smallish scopes too. I have a stainless JM 30-30 with a 1-4 leupold and I like the look of that and my dark marlin 30-30 has basically the same scope(pig plex). I probably will get the midwest hand guard eventually. I have a couple of nice 1894s (.357 and .44mag) and couldn't imagine a scope on those. Your set up of the dark marlin with suppressor on is in my opinion about as sexy as it gets! does the midwest hand guard change the weight much?

    @ebee

    The Oceania suppressor does a really good job of suppressing it, it is a pleasure to shoot. It is a little lighter than the stock grip but I didn't weigh the difference. The rifle weighs 3.7kgs all up from memory with the suppressor and scope on it so not super light but certainly not a really heavy rifle.

    Goats and three gun mainly. And everything else you might use a 12 gauge for.

    I bought it because I wanted it lol and would probably never spend 4k on the real thing.
    dogmatix, grunzter, res and 1 others like this.

    I brought a Benelli M3 (which switches between semi auto and pump) to replace my Typhoon for three gun. I have never thought about using it on goats but that makes more sense than a bolt action. Do you go after them with solids or double ought and what do you consider the ethical / effective range?
