Whats up fellas?
Newbie here. Just picked up a new Marlin 1895.
Probably be a lot of new folks like me joining sites like this from Ohio. For the first time in recent history, certain caliber rifles are legal in Ohio during the deer gun season. Most straight wall cartridges are legal.... 444 Marlin and 45-70 are on the list.
Rifles are hard to find right now. The Marlins and Henry's in 45-70 are a hot item, as is ammunition.
Which is my current dilemma. 45-70 ammo is non-existing on store selves. Every shop says its backordered and the do not know when they will get any in.
Who woulda thunk that the 45-70 would be selling like hotcakes?
Any ideas? I guess I'm going to have to break down and start reloading at some point. Been saving the .223 and 7mm-08 cases for years.
Also, though I haven't been able to shoot it yet, seems like Marlin/Remington finally are getting their act together....fit on this rifle is top notch, action cycles smooth.
Just a fine looking rifle. As were the other 2 (both guides) that I looked at. Yeah, both the guides sold while I was there...
All I know, its going to be nice not spending $15 bucks on 5 sabot's in the future...man I really hated the shotgun only crap. Will be very strange carrying a lever rifle after 30 years of shotguns.
