Hello all! Retired Navy and located in Ladson, SC. Originally from New Orleans (actually Gretna LA.)If nobody minds, I'll open with a question. My choice is between a 336c in .35 rem and a standard 1895 in 45-70 gov't. The 336c is more available and slightly less expensive than the 45-70. So, is it worth the wait for the 45-70? I'll be hunting mostly deer and a pig or two. Most shots will be from almost point blank out to maybe 200 yds. Thanks for any input I receive and this is one mell of a great site. Lots of knowledge for the pickin'!

Welcome: from DFW, Texas...I would go for the 35 rem (although I've yet to get one) it is perfect for deer/hogs

Welcome from the sandhills of South Carolina. Go with the 35 then get the 45-70 later. Thats my plan, already got the 35. Oh and a 44mag/1894.

Just bought a xl7 270 (345.00 scoped and out the door). This will be my "loaner" (loan it to this son then the other son etc) Believe ya'll to be right. Get the 35 rem now and save up for the big bore.

Welcome to MO from ABQ NM.
As for your question: I would go for the 45-70. I like big bores. Actually consider the 1895M in 450 Marlin. It is a heck of a round, not that the other two are not. I have a 450 and it is my second most favorite gun.

You'll end up with both. So the .35 will be the quicker find. Welcome to MO from MO.  |
