well Mr. Clark many of us are struck from time to time with Gunitus. I would just buy the one you want, reload for it and have a ball. I have a 6.8SPC, does it kill any better than a 223? does a 308 kill better, does a 300WM, does a 358...sometimes its only in our minds but this is what we do and what we enjoy doing! Have at it!
That's exactly it Jimmy. I have plenty of deer and hog guns. I just don't have anything larger than a 7mm mag. Don't need one but want something that throws heavy bullets for some insane reason. I also like light and fast handling so the recoil combination may wind up sending it down the road just as fast as I dreamed it up.LOL
have i got a deal for you. fast handling and light weight! check out my 95 marlin in the classifieds. 45-70 guide gun.
i have , with this particular gun, taken 3 white tail, 1 moose, 2 elk and one skunk! you really don't want to shoot a skunk in the garage with a 45-70!
not a AR but very accurate.
reason i am selling it apart from having 2 more like it is i have the 458 socom and am going to blood it in a few weeks, and it (the marlin doesn't smell skunky).
