I managed to find a used BLR with PG in 450 Marlin. I really wanted a takedown, but, couldn't find any with a PG.

Anyway, I bought a couple boxes of Hornady ammo and mounted an old 2.5x very slimline weaver I used to have on my 12 gauge slug gun. What a great combo this is. I can get two shots touching at 100 yards, even with the ancient (40 years?) scope. Handy, accurate, and just plain fun.

The Hornady ammo is so accurate I may not even reload - and that's saying something since I can reload 60+ calibers!

I think with a little trigger work this is my new hog thumper and woods companion!
