Another thread here in this forum sparked my interest in asking if anyone know much about the Lever Action rifles Kodiak Bear Guide Mike Horstman carries.....

Thanks for any info on the subject.

Merry X-mas to everyone!

I think that the one he used for the sheep hunt is a Win 88

Was that sheep or goat? A Lever Action right? I noticed in one episode while scouting with his dog he was carting what looked to be a Lever action Marlin. An older one. Maybe evn a lil longer barrel than normal..

Thanks

When he was scouting for bears I seem to remember him carrying a model 71. Can't blame a guy for that.

jack, I thought it was a 71 or an 86.. I am not familiar enough to make a distinction based on that quick look..

Mike is a consummate gun loonie. Although they referred to them as gun cranks in his day! And he is always messing with "new" old guns.
He is quite fond of M-71 Winchesters but is liable to be carrying anything.

Mike also loves combo guns as when he is alone with Adele, his German wirehair, he is likely to shoot anything from deer to ducks.

You all in Bear Country I find fascinating! Always been a fan of a Lever Action. To see Mike packing those rifles refreshing. BTW, appreciate all your posts here at the fire... Blessed your here sharing your thoughts.
