If you look at my post you will see the response in quotes. I was quoting what an earlier poster said. I realize the Leverevolution ammo is safe in modern Marlin firearms. I was responding to where a poster said the 45-70 Leverevolution ammo was "safe in any levergun".Please read all the posts and you will see what I mean.

I did not addrerss that poster directly because I did not want to start a ****ing contest, or an argument.

The 45-70 is a fantastic cartridge as long as it is used properly in your firearm.

And yes i would recommend the Marlin(if you want to scope it). But I would buy the longest barrel I could get. I looked at the Leverevolution ballistics, and they are incredible. The longer barrel would really help the ammo out a lot. Just add a MB if you want to. Tom.
