Good article, thanks. While it may not appeal to the traditional among us I like it. -Tutt

While I will be hunting this fall with a Marlin in 45-70 it will not be as "tricked out" as that one :D :D

Have a JM stamped SBL. Very accurate, slick action and handy size. Like the lever because of my bear paw like hands. Can't beat the Ashley sights.

I've got the "standard" 1895 GS (unported). I MIGHT want to upgrade to a "midsize" lever for better glove grip, but other than that it's a dandy platform for about anything.
