Took my Marlin Cowboy Limited out for it's first walk today

Post by futura »

I've put a couple of hundred range rounds through her but she has never been out for a walk in the world.

I went deep into the forest today and found a few deer and one lone black bear. No shots taken but it was nice to have such a nice carry gun along.

I had a scabbard built with knapsack straps that worked really well.

Its always nice to take a Marlin CB on a walk, isn't it! I know my own behave nicely and are very well mannered when I take them on a walk :wink:

Been packing my own Marlin CB on a regular basis the past 36 hours. We had a triple homicide just down the rode a couple miles yesterday morning and the killer is still on the loose, police reporting 'armed and dangerous'. Who'da thunk :o So in addition to my sidearm I've been packing the rifle I shoot the most on a most consistant basis. A .44 CB.

Here's the scabbard. It's got leather covered steel protecting the action and has a removable boot. I had it made as a rifle case and at the last minute decided to have the maker add packpacker straps. It works pretty well.
I've got one strap double wrapped to serve as a handle to carry it like a suitcase.

How about a picture of you wearing the scabbard. This way of hiking with a lever gun intrigues me. Very nice rig :D

Heck, you can tell that by the color. Rover's have always had their own paint colors. And they have always made good sense.
