Well I was watching "NorthWoods Law", game warden show, and this Warden got a permit to shoot a Moose. On the show he was walking and this huge bull Moose was just standing there 75 yards away. The Warden had shown off his Marlin 1895 45/70 he was using. Well he cocked the gun, aimed, and one big 'click' was heard. Repeated the process and same 'click'. He levered in a new round and, again, 'click'. Then he notice that push button safety was ON.

Moose got tired of standing there and walked off.
Yep, there's one of those morons I was talking about. The dumbass sure as hell shouldn't have a job where carrying a gun is required.

Another “Amen”!

Hammer back is a good look for levers. It announces a serious view of the world and shows that finality can be quite sudden. The crossbolt makes it civilized.
