My personal rule is that more velocity buys you more range but not the capability to take bigger game weight and caliber buy you the ability to hunt bigger game but costs you in terms of trajectory and recoil. The question is what you want to do that calls for lobbing bowling balls a. 45-70 I tell people the bullets don't move much faster than an express train, but they don't weigh much less either. Scope mounting option must be included.Īll Marlins are side-eject and come tapped for scope mounts, IIRC. It would be used up to 125 yards maximum.

I have saved a link to an article on how to use case stretching for pressure signs, which does seem like the way to do it, but I have not tried it myself. I wouldn't call loading really hot a beginner's job, however, because it's a rear lock-up bolt and from what I understand you don't get the usual pressure signs until the case head is ready to let go. One of Garrett's customers took the African Big 5 with his Marlin, which may give you some idea of how hot you can load a. If you're willing to pay the price, though, a few small companies like Buffalo Bore and Garrett will sell you loads that will kick you out from under your hat. The problem is that it's better as a handloader's cartridge, because factory ammo is loaded to pressures that the old trapdoor Springfields can handle. The Marlin 1895 is just one absolutely lovely gun, and I've planned to buy one ever since that day.

The hottest one I ever shot left me with a ginormous black-and-blue patch on my shoulder for a couple of weeks, but I had a huge smile the whole time. Don't forget that part of the attraction of leverguns is that you can make them light & handy, and the receiver is flat with no protruding bolt so they're nice to carry. 30-06, probably more than you're likely to get from a shotgun. If you use hot handloads or the specialty loads for modern firearms, it's much more than a. 30-06 or a pump or semi-auto shotgun with slugs. 45-70 rifles? I would like a comparison of its recoil to a.

I like the pistol gripped stock so the guide gun series was out for me.ĭoes someone here own any. It is only fair to the game to be sure of your shot.īoth of these guns are still available. If a shot presents itself further than I feel comfortable with open sights I refer to the scope and take the shot. Some say a scope on a levergun is blasphemy, I dont listen to them. I use open sights with the option of scope by using see through bases. The newer Marlins come with a better recoil pad, it makes a big difference.

The straight wall case is a joy to reload. The flat (405 gr.) point I use to hunt Pig the hollow (300 gr) point I use for deer. I fired 500 grain loads once and then gave away the projectiles. If I run 300 grain middle of the road loads it is about 30-06 recoil. If I use 405 grain hot loads it punches like a shotgun with slugs or worse. The recoil depends on the load and equipment. I'll keep on reading around, but I'd appreciate if somebody had some experience to share. Also, which model would you suggest for hunting big game (deer, wild hog, bear) - are there any that are "more accurate than the rest"? It would be used up to 125 yards maximum.
