Well, after lots of thinking and reading and taking in all the advice everyone has given I decided to go with .................. The Marlin 444. I been looking at this gun for a while and the more I look at it the more I thought it needed a home in my gun safe. Now its time to work up some loads for it and decide if I want a small powered scope or keep the iron sights..Maybe a ghost ring. Thanks for all the replies and advice I really appreciate it.
