I sold a Marlin 1895 SS 45-70 with the 22" barrel and bought the 375 Ruger Guide Gun and have no regrets. Shooting a handloaded Hornady 300gr.RN at 2488fps with 4123 Ft.Ibs. muzzle engery. Factory Hornady 270gr. shooting 2777fps. and 4626 ft.Ibs. muzzle engery out of the 20" barrel Guide Gun.


Nothing like a Remington 700xcr.
