Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska .375 Ruger or Marlin 45-70

For protection?? 45/70. For hunting that might include longer range?? Either. A good,slick levergun is way easier to keep on target for subsequent shots. Put up a paper plate at 25 yards and try shooting both action types with full power ammo and you can figure out which one is faster and easier for YOU to keep on target. Shoot the rounds in pairs.

NONE of us has Phil's background, we are all rank amateurs compared to him so HE is fully able to get the mostest out of a boltgun.
