450 Marlin

Anybody have any thoughts on the 450 Marlin, good, bad? Big game, deer on up to bear, dangerous game perhaps??

450 Marlin

I bought one earlier this year. I got the Marlin 1895M guide gun. My only complaint is the lack of different types of ammunitions.

I’ll be the first to admit that the lack of weight in a carbon fiber stock is awfully nice when chasing elk in high country and that any synthetic could help a bit when mother natured decides to rain on your parade. My own preference, however, is to...
