The natural principles which were the underlying reason for the Mosaic laws did not change with the first advent of Christ. Meaning, scavengers are still not really a healthy thing to eat, even using modern cooking methods. However, as Ganjiro pointed out, Paul also laid down some principles that in...

I must say that, although I am a Marlin fan, that takedown is surely a nice piece. However that stock just does not look right (to me :wink: ), and although I'd imagine it surely feels better to shoot, the stock in 3855's sig looks more right, whatever that means :lol: .

This is about as close as you are going to get in a modern rifle without spending a lot of money. The 26 in barrell is reported by many to give much higher velocities than the 20 in 1895.

According to Glen Fryxell, the .444 predates the .45-70 since the U.S. army actually considered its precursor before the .45-70, so it's a historical round. Say what you want, but the 405 grain bullet coming out of the end of my T4 at 12-1300fps is not a light load. With cast bullets, I use .432 si...

A Marlin will cycle a pretty long round, in fact it will cycle and chamber a lot longer round than it will eject unfired. If he's using Garrets, I would be shocked if they jumped crimp.
