Re: A couple questions about my first levergun

Thank you Gentlemen for the replies, I'll keep in mind to action the rifle nice and fast and put plenty of rounds through her! I'm starting with the Hornady Lever Revolution rounds, but I just placed an order from Cast Performance for some WLNGC 405 grainers...thinking of pushing them at around 1800...

A couple questions about my first levergun

Howdy Gents, I recently picked-up my first levergun ever, it's a Marlin 1895 LTD III (got it new in box).

As for the Centennial...it'll make a great graduation gift!

A tough choice between two Marlin's

Howdy Gentlemen, O.k., so this is where I'm at...I originally wanted to purchase an Uberti, Win. 1876 "Crossfire Trail" rifle in .45-60...after reading that these "new" rifles were inherently weak (meaning I could not soup-up the .45-60 cartridge), I decided to go with a Marlin 1...
