You must not live in California ?Ever Since I watched that movie 'Wind River' I wanted that Rifle in .45/70 caliber
About an hour and a half later I had it and was heading home.....View attachment 5938
Ive had my 39a (golden mountie) for close to 55 years. At some point I was cleaning it and had broken something. I got ahold of a Marlin catalog, it was a couple years old figured out the price, added a couple bucks and sent away for my part. I got the part and all the extra money I had sent. For a 9 year old kid, that was a big deal. I have a couple guide guns; one in .45/70 and one in .450 Marlin.I love marlins lever actions. I have the 45-70 also but the 1895 guide gun.
but I love my marlin 39a even more
My personal experience with the Hornady FTX's are not good. I know some people swear by them. Good on the range but I wanted to be a bada$$ and try hunting with the 45-70. Shot a nice buck which turned into tracking and never finding him. I tried again with a doe tag. same story. I had well placed shots. so I switched to Remington 410 grain and never had a issue again
Buffalo it’s on my bucket list
Nice Buffalo! Where did you find a blaze orange boonie hat? I've been trying to find one for years.
