Mainly cats, they get pretty big up at the bug out and it's cheaper to detonate them with a 460 then the 50BMG It's more of a wish list type rifle as I already have the matching pistol so I'll be saving money by not having to purchase ammo or dies

ive seen write ups on those big horns ,they sure are lucky in the US with access to some stuff. i sent a email to a rossi specialist a week ago, just to see if i could obtain some aftermarket replacement parts. still waiting for a reply. found this pretty normal when i was in the car scene, alot of yank businesses don't want to deal with overseas orders

Yes but the "C" really stands for C#^T

That would make a sweet little hunting package. Just remember the Marlins are comparatively on the heavier side.
bigrich wrote:The weight of marlins is a negative for me. I had a 336 30-30, with a scope on top it weighed about the same as a bolt gun. I traded it on a Winchester 94. Light weight and very “pointable”. It’s why I got a Rossi
bigrich wrote:The 94 win I had was a lot lighter than the marlin, more than 80 grams. I moved the 94 on because I can’t see well enough to shoot 30-30 out to its potential range. Just me, but I really didn’t want to mount a scope on a compact lever gun . Defeats the purpose of a light weight pointable gun. JMHO, I’m sure this subject can be argued six ways from Sunday, Pistol caliber out to 50-75 yard is a different story. I can be comfortable with that and open sights. In the last couple of years, I’ve bought and sold a few firearms, if something doesn’t “fit “ for me, or live up to expectations and usage, I’ll move it on . A lot of people have given me good advice, but I have to experience things first hand. It’s cost me some dollars , but first hand experience is worth it I reckon
