Marlin 1895 Guide in 45/70 is the best rifle period! Combined with Garrett loads, you can propel a 420 grain projectile at 1850 fps! Thats over 3250 lbs./ft. of energy and knockdown power. And if you are not good enough to get within 45/70 range (100-200 yds.) you should probably be hunting foxes with the damn English elite types!
