Marlin 45-70 lever action. Good gun?

We have two great threads on this very subject over in Firearms.

And you guys that love to use the term "Remlin" are the same guys who can't help but always mention that a tomato is actually a fruit. Aren't you?

Funny story, legally the tomato is sometimes a vegetable.

Well, long story short, the 45-70 Marlin turned in to this:
Big Boy 357 Trapper. Range time in the am.

Funny. Looks like a Henry...

How much $$$

 

[PSS]

He isn’t selling it. He going to trade it for a super Blackhawk

Lol, yup. Was gonna buy the Marlin, found out how much it would cost in ammo, decided the Henry made more sense next to the GP100 and SP101.

How much $$$

iirc the Marlin 45-70 was $650 or thereabouts. It was at Shawsheen firearms in Billerica. Bought the Henry there instead.

He isn’t selling it. He going to trade it for a super Blackhawk

Actually, the 38/357 gave me a bug for levers, found a Henry 44mag from a member here. Kip wants to trade me for his SuperBlackHawk, but I already have a 44mag revolver. 1 revolver, 1 rifle makes more sense to me than 2 revolvers no rifle

 

[PSS]

So pretty. Look at it shine in the light. Lol

I have that Big Boy in steel. It has become one of my favorite guns to bring to the range. It shoots 38 spl like a 22 in terms of recoil.
Btw, my kid wants a 45-70 lever gun. He doesn’t seem to care about the price of feeding it.

I know this gun, I want this gun, and I'm not in a position to buy this gun....

Sounds like you got some gun buyin’ to do!
