If I had to carry *one* rifle till the day I die it would bemy Marlin 1895G. Mine has a DRC Customs lever, Williams FP receiver sight, WW trigger, and will be getting a mag extension from brockmans, tritium front sight, teflon coated, and laminate stock set in the near future. It will shoot moa with no trouble, recoil is managable in mine with limbsaver precision fit pad. It's light, fast handling, and 45-70 loaded right will stop any beast that walks on this earth.
