After all the bashing of the no 1 in 450 marlin does anyone here actually have one? I would like to know likes or dislikes from actual experience with this rifle.
I would like to hold one to feel the balance. Looks a bit ugly (unbalanced) in pictures but my 475 Linebaugh No.1 feels pretty good in the hands despite the 20” barrel.
I let my 458x2 American Ruger 77 go a dozen+ years ago. If I saw a No.1 in 450 Marlin with really nice walnut and not crazy priced, I’d probably not be able to resist becoming poorer in the few minutes it would take to acquire it!
