    I can't wait to get one of these Marlin 1895SBL .45-70 carbines. XS Ghost Ring rear peep site, 6 round tube magazine, large loop lever for gloved hands, a nice recoil pad and stainless steel. I really like the picatinny rail for what ever you want in the way of a site. I've already ordered the dies.

    Oh yeah, a Garret 510 gr load out of a 7 1/2 lb gun is gonna make your eyes water for sure! But for most hunting the 300 gr loads aren't bad at all.

    George,

    Where are you buying yours? I have been shopping for the same gun for a while now at the Houston gun shows and haven't seen one yet.

    Thanks!

    Pete,
    My FFL has one on order with Jerry's Dist. They say it should be anytime now as more make it into the pipeline. I hate waiting for a new gun and Elk season here in New Mexico is just around the corner.

    Cheers,

    Gungle George

    Would love to hear a range report once you've had some time with it. Everything I have read so far has been extremely positive.

    That's a very practical/business-like rifle. I'd like to hear how well yours shoots.

    Great minds think alike, that's the same one I'd like to get. I'd throw an aimpoint on there and figure out some kinda way to attach a light.
