Thanks, it's a Marlin 1895 STP, in .45-70
The barrel isn't cut down, it came like that. 16.25" long. Makes for a great brush gun, but doesn't help the shoulder any when you shoot it.
Semper,
Yeah I have one of the marlin 1895 SBL with a leupold vx-3 1.5-5x on top and its one the best rifles I have ever owned.
Sweet little rifle, but it'd likely knock me on my scrawny ass.
It's got some kick to it for sure. especially with the 500gr buffalo bore. Don't think I'd feel it if a big brown fuzzy was coming at me though.
