Just got my copy of American Rifleman tonight. There's a good article on the Marlin 1895M 450 Marlin in it. Took it hunting to Alaska. Their's is set up just like mine, except I used the Burris 2.75x Scout Scope instead of the 2.5x Leupold. I also used the ghost ring setup from Wild West Guns w/fibre optic front post, instead of the Ashley set. Though I did use the Ashley Scout Scope Mount mentioned. I would like to e-mail the author, to see if he wore ear plugs (grin) he had to have some reason to take four shots to drop a moose at 30 feet.<P>Phil
