gulo,
Do you have a dangerous game hunt in the works? What do you plan to hunt? Or if you're just doing it for the boom factor, that's fine too. Marlin 1895's are very strong. I have a friend that has fed his 45/70 Guide Gun a steady diet of Buffalo Bore and Garrett heavy hitters for years with no impact on the rifle. I like a bit less recoil, so I load lighter.
