Re: Lever action .410s???

I shoot skeet and have hunted quail and pheasants with my Marlin .410 lever. I personally love mine, so I bought a couple extra to hand down to the kids someday.

Re: Interesting survival rifle....

Nice Trapper. I've gone to a Henry "Evil Roy" in .22 mag, 16" barrel so it handles like your Trapper, just cheaper. I've got a Marlin TDS. And don't carry it for the same reason.
