Love my Marlins.....30-30, 44 Mag, & 35.....all hunted with their own stories for over 45+ years. BUT, also love shooting & hand loading my TCs,, 45-70, 44, 300Whisper, 309JDJ (444 sized for 30 cal.) & others; various muzzle tamers with the right load "ease your pain".....as do the 1hole targets....AND 1 shot downed game. Guess I'm committing to my new Glock 10mm for this fall though as I'm feeling so tickled with the accuracy, added optic, my carry rig, etc. We'll see.
Welcome Wayne!
You any kin to Dieter?
