My customized Marlin 45-70 is a constant companion for my Alaskan activities. Nice wood and the 21" octagon barrel and receiver has good bluing. To me its a beautiful rifle. But, that stainless synthetic Trapper is appealing to me.
I would want mine Mag Na Ported to get rid of some of the muzzle jump. Stuffed with some of my hoarded heavy jacketed bonded 350 grain Kodiak Bullets I would be much better armed then with any handgun.
Rigged with a 2 point AR sling, fast to get into action.
At 72 I doubt I need another 45-70, but I want that Trapper!
