Thank you gentleman. I’ve shot many a big bore rifle so I don’t think this will be anything but pleasant manageable. The Skinner sight is what BHA puts on them so I don’t see an issue. Have not shot it yet. Ordered 500 rounds of Underwood 440gr hardcast which was delivered yesterday so hopefully...
I’ve watched three or four videos where they stated it was a 1894 Marlin timber so it’s got me thinking as well. Stainless steel construction with wood furniture ought to make a fine looking piece!!!
Went by and handled it today. Well made. Slick action. Flat faced trigger was different but I liked the feel of it. Not a trigger pull to brag about but I imagine it would slick up with use. I’m not a fan of plastic furniture…. I have a set of plastic on a Henry X mod l plan to replace as I...
Stopped by my lgs to pick up my new pea shooter and they had one for sale. I actually admit in person it’s not a bad looking rifle. May go by tomorrow and handle it and see what the fuss is all about.
Thank you!!! Yeah it has a crown…. Just not one of those done with a melon baller :)) Yeah I like to launch some of those big bore trash cans every once in awhile. Not to much in the lower 48 that wouldn’t slow down lol
This is one I remember…. I have personally seen a set like this in 44-40.

Very well put…. A shared sentiment. All of my long arms are lever actions now other than a old 1873 Springfield and a Ruger 10/22 and my grandfathers old Winchester 22 :)
Awhile back I posted pics of my custom five shot Ruger Vaquero. I mentioned my friend Ryan does amazing things with Magnum Research BFR’s. I’m a fan of GUNBLAST and have watched for years. Mr Quinn recently reviewed one of my friends custom BFR’s…. Good stuff!!!
