RE: Marlin 1895 Guide Gun 45-70
I too bought one when they hit the market and love the rifle . Excellent shooter ,easy to carry and a power house in a compact package.
I topped mine off with a Leupold 1-4x which works great in brush.
An awesome lever gun which compliments my collection of levers , ranging from m-94's , 336 c in 35 remand 444 ss .
