If the Pres is going to act like an [bleep], I'd rather he was a man's man like Putin, Rather than a skinny dork. Saw a photo of Ohshit playing golf recently. He looked like his mom dressed him. For the record, I'm not a fan of anyone who has been Pres in my lifetime, but I can say I've at least agreed with some of the decisions each has made. It is getting very tough to do that. Very, very tough.

Politics aside, the Marlin in 44 is the Hammer of Putin. With 240's, it is a slayer of all things tasty, and with 300+ bullets, it is a slayer of all things. I put a 2-7 on mine, and filed back the cartridge stop so it will cycle longer rounds from the mag. It comes to shoulder and goes bang faster than the 20 gauge SS from my youth. 44,43 either one is a great cal for a carbine.
