With all the talk about the 45-70 I couldn't help myself!??, now I've got me a Marlin 1895 45-70!!! and a darnd nice look'n one too!
Now I gota go and buy another $100 or so of reloading supply's!
And since I've got an extra scope mount for it I'm probably going to have to put one on it!
YEP, you guys are a bad influence!!!

You don't have to buy the reloading supplies and put that extra scope on the rifle...









































You could just ship it to me!:D:D

Just keep one thought in mind Wrench, you can never own enough guns.

Any thing we came do to help. :D We are glad to have another 45-70 shooter...;)

And don't forget the lead pot and molds. Those big bores really like the big lead bullets.

You got that right...:D

What are friends for if they can't help you round out your gun collection?!

Last year a neighbor invited me to ride along while he picked up an FN-type battle rifle from Jensen's in Loveland, CO. I came home $200 poorer and the proud owner of a used S&W M10.

Friends are great...but I am not riding along to the gun show in Cheyenne tomorrow!

They really are a bad influence. Everyone's been talking about how great the 45-70's are I had to get one too. I just bought a stainless guide gun. Let the fun begin!:DWith all the talk about the 45-70 I couldn't help myself!??, now I've got me a Marlin 1895 45-70!!! and a darnd nice look'n one too!

Bought a second Winchester 1886 so the first one wouldn't feel lonely, and think they might both need an 1885 as an older brother.

tell me about it
I have got a 336 t in 30/30, a 68 35rem, and a stainless guide gun all within the last 2 weeks!

The one on the left is my 1950 336A 35REM, it needed some company, it wears a vintage Weaver K4F scope, so I thought that the 1895 need to live up to it's older brother!
It now wears a vintage Weaver V7-W 2.5-7 scope in vintage rings too.

And I think I'll have about $200 into reloading supply's before I'm done getting stuff for the 45-70!

And the Winchester 30-30 trapper, the Winchester 9422 and the Henry Golden Boy!
And "IF" I ever find the Marlin 39A???? I'll have all the levers I want!???, I cant seem to talk my brother out of his Winchester 1895 (1905) 30-03! (30 Government)

And I think I'll have about $200 into reloading supply's before I'm done getting stuff for the 45-70!

Or $300!!!!!!!! (JUST! for the 45-70!), we're all crazy!, men and their toys!!!:D
