Currently have a suppressed .357 and two .22LR's.

I've got a 357 . The Marlin baby brother to the mighty 45/70 sbl. Horror's of horrors, I have surpressed it and fitted a scope. I know , I should probably be taken out back and knee capped but rest assured I wouldn't have done that if it was a classic model.... probably. I used to carry the Ar as a walk in daytime goat gun in 223, fit the 22bolt kit and then it became a walk out night time possum gun.
I have started to use the Marlin in the same way. 357 going in , and with the surpressor and 38 it becomes a nice quiet nightime possum slayer. Very handy little rifle that my daughter has really fallen for as well and has claimed as her own.
