Spring into a Marlin Lever Action Model 1895 SBL 45-70 – Testing Soon

I have been looking and waiting for the right big game 45-70 lever gun to talk to me and I think I found it.

The Ruger made Marlin Lever Action Model 1895 SBL 45-70 is a stainless, easy and fast-like “butter”  levering rifle with a 19 inch barrel. There is a shorter version but will share on that later.

I put a deposit on it as I wait for more snow to melt. I will reload this cartridge. 

 What makes this rifle so special is that it is,… well you’ll have to wait till I get it and take it to the range for me to share. 

More Soon…
