That Wind River 1895 and the SBL Chris Pratt used in his Dinosaur Hunter movie really pumped up the market on those Guide Guns,
They should be selling at good prices in a few years.

 

It was fun seeing the big bore Marlin in both of those movies.

 

Watched it again the other morning while loading up a bunch of 45-70 rounds. Great movie. Love my marlin dark. If you get a chance to get a shorty marlin 45-70 jump on it. Dark, GBL, SBL, Guide gun....you won't be sorry

 

That movie has been driving SBL sales since it was first released, The 1895SBL was one of Remington's best sellers and hard to find, prices have now reached the outer ozone with the Remington bankruptcy and production shutdown. Gunbroker prices keep climbing, everyone still wants one. I believe Ruger will revive this model due to it's sales record so we should see prices ease in the future.

 

I saw it a couple of weeks ago on pay TV. Very good movie.

 

We saw it when it first came out, good movie.

I spent much of my youth in the Wind River country (Fremont County). Most of the filming was done elsewhere though, but it rang true on the issues on the Wind River Reservation. Oh by the way, the culprits in the real story were Native Americans, but the PC police made them white.

There is a lot of oil drilling on and around the Res, but I'm pretty sure that none of the drillers are operating under classified government oversight and I'm also pretty sure that none of 'em have government issued Class 3 weapons. Oh well, it was entertainment.

Speaking of the Wind River Country, I just left a family reunion in Lander yesterday and a shoot a thon was part of the festivities out on the high lonesome of Fremont County. No 45/70 action though, although there is a nice circa 1975 1895 in my brother's vault.

 

I believe Jurassic World featured the SBL also which prob sold more guns than Wind River.

 

Too bad Renner is another lefty hypocrite
