My New 1895
So far she's very accurate.

Re: My New 1895
Nice rifle! And despite all the trash talking about scopes that goes on around here , the Marlin 1895 looks very good in a scope. Marlins always do.

Outstanding! Good choice! And I don't see any muffler holes - I don't personally like the brakes...

Agreed,... both of mine have them. But there is always room for a little levity in life.

Re: My New 1895
Sweet, I picked one up last spring and am very impressed with it. I finally tried some .457 roundball loads Sunday with 9gr of 7625. three shots went right to the point of aim at 30yd's inside of 2",without touching the sights. I am going to shoot some thru the chrony tomorrow.big fun.

Re: My New 1895
You bet. I've certainly added my share of good old trash talking (all in good humour) re. scopes on leverguns. For some reason, I don't like scopes at all on the Winchesters, but I like them on the Marlins. Don't know why.76/444 wrote:Agreed,... both of mine have them.

I must be weird,... but, I didn't take the "carry handle" remark as trash talking, but just as a rather witty sense of humor. Oh well,... what do I know anyway!
I just thought it was witty.p.s. I agree Winnies don't look good with scopes.
Re: My New 1895
I didn't think my winnie looked to bad scoped,,,,,

I have several of the Nikon Prostaff 2-7X32s and I really like them.

Re: My New 1895
I used to own a Marlin 1895 Cowboy model, but it never quite lit my fire so I sold it. I recently held a used 1895 at the local toy shop and it really felt nice....just like my 336. I might have to consider placing it on my short list.
Some people just need a sympathetic pat on the head.....with a hammer. Repeatedly.
Re: My New 1895
I'm with 76/444, it's ok to scope a Marlin, but a scope on a Winnie is just not right somehow.

Re: My New 1895
Even down to the shoulder strap, that thing looks EXACTLY like my 1895 setup. Awesome!
