AFTER WHAT FELT LIKE A LIFETIME… this morning I get THAT call.

No warning. No heads up. Just “it’s here.”

I don’t even remember the drive over — I teleported.

Walked out grinning like I just won the lottery with this absolute MONSTER: Marlin 1895 in .45-70 🔥

Bank account: Crying

Me: worth it 🤝

Well congrats! I see small batches of these pop up and disappear in no time.

I was hoping for 30-30 since i have another 45-70

They’re both pretty damn fun to shoot.

Ok, but I'm debating between the 30-30 and .357. Been hearing that if you're only doing one, go .357 because you'll shoot it more than the 30-30...

I have a bolty for longer ranges, but I am tempted to take the 30-30 model as a range/bush gun.

If I had to do one it would be 30-30. The ammo is more expensive but still around the price that you can buy a few boxes and take it out without feeling too guilty. 357 is better for target practice but a little anemic for a bush gun. I personally like to have a cartridge with a bit of authority to it in the woods, just my 2 cents.
