NEW (to me) LEVERGUN

Post by TedH »

Picked up the Marlin 1894CL that I bought from loophole today. It's not perfect, but overall it's in pretty nice shape, and just as he described it. I've got a Leupold 2-7x32 or a Leupold 1-4x20. Can't decide which one to put on it. In reality, it's probably a 150 yard rifle, so the 4x would be plenty. Now if I can just round up some 218 Bee brass.

32-20 brass can be reformed.
Kind regards,

Midway has lots of Bee brass. With tuning 1" groups at 100 yards are possible and it will drop crows to 200.

Midway is out of stock, with no option to backorder. So is every other on-line supplier I can find.

I got some loaded Bee at that Reeds for just about that price for brass. 10 boxes shipped for about 135.

I had decided to just go ahead and get some ammo from Reed's, but they are out too! Said they have had more orders than what brass was available. :evil:

Its a piece of junk, send it to me and I'll make sure nobody hurts themself with it. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Enjoy it man, the 218 Marlin truly is a treasure, and if it was me I"d go with the 2-7x so I could see the rabbits heads better at 200yds.

Actually I had forgot about a Bass Pro gift card that I had from Christmas. So I stopped by there tonight after work and bought a new Nikon 2-7x32 for it. That way I won't have to rob a scope from another rifle. :D
