[Krankin]

Picked up my new baby today

[FatBoy89]

Congrats mate!! Is it .44 or 30-30?
I'm lookin at the rossi in 30-30

 

[Krankin]

She only comes in 45/70.

 

[FatBoy89]

Not true? Can get it in 30-30.

 

[Krankin]

Not in a Marlin 1895SBL you cant.....

 

[FatBoy89]

Barrel length the only difference? Same
Stock, barrel and action isn't it?

 

[Krankin]

The SBL is its own model, ...only in 45/70, only one that has a picatinny rail..xs ghost ring sight...s/s and large loop lever..laminated stock....1895SBL..thats how it comes...special made by marlin

Stand corrected I do love that large loop!
What you planning to shoot with the 45/70 though?

 

[Krankin]

Thanks guys

I love the new toy...its even better to hold than what u see on the brochure.
Its predominantly my new deer gun to take over from my 300WM.
Tho i have a feeling it will be used more often than not...taking it with me to townsville in a few weeks to see how the FNQ piggies like it.... whada ya reckon

I reckon I hate you!! You guys get all the porkers up there.
The .300 is a top round though. Hope you're happy with its performance. We will need an ipdate

great little gun, shoots clover leafs

 

[FatBoy89]

Hi Fella's

I dont own a 17hmr but have read a few problems with some brands of ammo so I will just stick to my trusty brno 22 hornet.As for the 300wm I am have fun with one now.

Cheers

My 17 loves the hornady ammo, they can be fickle but when you find the pill it loves its magic

split casings at the neck....have only found one brand to do this...other than that, its a great little tack driver.

Congratulations on the new addition, Very nice looking. And being a marlin lever gun it should give years of great service, my marlin 30-30 has

 

[FatBoy89]

I use the same hornadys in the .22wmr.
Unless I find Winchester Dyna point
