Thread: 45/70 Subsonic

your rifle weights about the same as my heavy varmint rifle @homebrew.357 . . . after a day carrying it around the hills here i feel like I'm carrying a truck axle over my shoulder on the way back to the vehicle - having said that i like heavy guns when it comes time to pull the trigger on something.

for hunting thru the tight stuff i am appreciating the Marlin Guide gun, it weighs fck all, its short, balances well, points well, the nice thin slab sided reciever fits the hand well . .. just about the perfect bush rifle i have ever handled . . to me


hit this Stag at 60yds on the run last night . . . he went another 20yds then hit the breaks, fell over

a blood trail a blind man could follow . . . this part i especially like



bullet hit behind the right shoulder, went between the ribs, thru the lungs, out between the ribs, missed the shoulder/leg bones . . . no bones hit making a big difference to the size of the wounds . . but still dropped him in short order.
