I meant C's as in plural. I don't need no stinking safety. But I'd take one if the price was right.

And yes Tikkanut, your old Marlin looks just right. I like Fireball2's also, with the little 2.5x20 scope.

renegade50's 36g looks sweet too. I've thought about a Glenfield 30A, so I wouldn't feel bad about putting a plastic stock on it to lighten it up, or 30TK as is. But those half tube rifles aren't so common around here.

The 444 is a great cartridge, as is the 35. But if I'm getting away from what I know and have ammo for, 30-30 and 357, then it would be a 45. Or a 45-70 if I want an artillery round.

Also, if I reload a 30-30 then I can reload 223 with the same powder.
