Finally I'm officially a Levergunner

Post by DBW »

This morning I had the opportunity to stop in OKC and purchase a new Marlin Thutty-thutty lever. This is my first lever action and officially can call myself a levergunner. :mrgreen:

+ a big one on both parts. Welcome to the faternity that will result in a life-long obsession. Like a potato-chip, you won't stop at one. Making your first a .30-30 was an excellent move!!! :D

Now you have done it, sheesh! :D

This is a steppingstone addiction that will lead to other calibers if you are not
quite vigilant.

Enjoy your new acquisition............

Thanks guys and gals. Primary purpose of this gun is to perforate cans and paper. I admit that I've never been a hunter and don't forsee this changing anytime soon unless a "politician" season is instituted. :lol: :wink:

Congratulations !!!

Excellent choice of lever and caliber to cut your teeth on. You'll never need another, but you'll definitely be wanting/buying more, and there's nothing you can do about it :D

Enjoy the ride.

I know, I know. They had another Marlin in .45-70 and .308... I have FRN's to burn before they become even more worthless. I definitely want an 1894C in .357. :D

Be very, very careful.
Ownership and shooting of the .30-30 in a levergun can lead to other addictions, such as handloading, bullet casting, and pretending to be Chuck Connors.
Consider yourself forewarned.
