Well, the deer were running this morning. Saw a lot of does with fawns. My brother got a 5 point and was ready to go look for it, and this little button buck just kept coming back begging to be shot. Good thing the 44 mag dropped him where he stood, killing him instantly, because the loading gate popped out, and the next round moved back, causing everything to lock. I could not eject the spent case. The rifle was useless. I will most likely be sending it back to Taurus and the Marlin will finish out the season. Has anyone else had this problem? Sorry, the picture is a little hard to see.
