I just bought a 1895 Marlin guide gun from my son-in-law. He only shot it 3 times and thought that was enough. I took it out on Saturday and when I touched her off, I was hooked. my shoulder is a little tender but what a RUSH!!!!! That light weight, short little gun sure puts a smile on your face when you feel the gentle nudge. Anyone else feel that way?
Couldn't agree more. So light and comfortable to walk with. By far my handiest rifle.
Its funny, Ive never once felt the recoil or heard the loud ported report when triggering a deer. The shooting bench is another story.
My friend shoots hot reloads out of his.....wayy too much thump for my liking.
