My buddy uses his Marlin Mod 95 in 45-70 as his primary rifle. His backup is a Browning BLR in 358 Win. He retired his grandfathers Mod 99 in 300 Savage some years back in favor of the big bore.

I take 3 rifles to camp; a Ruger #1 in 45-70, Rem 700 in 06 and a Tikka in 6.5 X 55.


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
