Hi everyone!
I'm new to this site but not new to Marlin rifles. I've been shooting a 1970's vintage 30.30 336 for many years and really love it. My wife can punch out bullseyes all afternoon with her scoped Marlin 60.
I an awaiting delivery recently of anew 1895 SBL for an upcoming Alaskan wilderness trip. I don't intend to hunt- I'm looking for bear protection and this rifle seems like the best choice for the job. ( with Garrett ammo, of course)
But I'm slowly learning that there are many problems with these new firearms. Without annoying the old members here, could anyone list the issues I should be aware of so I can remedy them? I will be trusting my life with this rifle so failure isn't an option.
Thanks.
