Marlin? I had a play with my mates one I liked the feel of it. Blows big holes in the mud on the river bank too
Yea that's the only other that sprang to mind me being a bolt action kind of guy.
Bugger I was looking at a 44 Rossi. What were the bad points? I just don't have the cash for the Marlin.Quote:

A bit overkill maybe? Anyone used one?
Well the first one didn't work(wouldn't feed) and the second one wasn't a whole lot better. I shot one billy and one hare with it and got rid of it.Quote:

Apart from a Marlin I also have a 357 Rossi '92 carbine. The older models seam pretty good. My one has a very short length of pull, the foresight is also too short, the loading gate sometimes pops out the side, on 38s with certain projectiles the lifter sometimes catches and it has kind of a lame hammer safety. On the up side with the right ammo, the action cycles nice and fast, groups very well and with 357mag ammo it would be quite an acceptable zombie apocalypse rifle.

BLR in 450 Marlin, big holes in stuff is great

Winnie or Marlin, only 2 choices really!
Cheers will look into the winny and Marlin.
Either of them more optic friendly .
Possibly end up with a reddot on it.

I said you have to buy a safe i got no room and you will need it when you move back anyway.
Wow.... Not scared of spending money then!
Yea earning plenty.
I can offer room in my safe to store some.... Always happy to help.
VC how did you go with the lever ?
I got to shoot one last week, a winchester old one, love the fact straight iron sights, I'm looking at the marlin 336, shit load of ammo selection for them, the winchester is like double the price.
336(c/w) going for round $899 ish give or take
Might get it in Jan some time .
Haven't really got into it yet, needs to get himself a safe.
Send him in to see James at "the you know where shop", he will help and I'm almost on commission thereQuote:

Fatty and fatty were climbing a hill....
My fitness is below where it should be and a little overweight at 97kg. Climbing hills I take my time so I don't start huffing and puffing in case a deer pops up and can't hold the scope still :O_O:
Go for a walk Mikee :cool:
