I have a Marlin 1895 45-70. I don’t hunt anymore but I just love to shoot it.

I’ve got a Henry 44 mag w/brass receiver. They are fun to shoot, just for plinking. (I reload.) I’ve owned Marlin and Winchester lever actions. Some shooters like the traditional loading gate on the side, but I got tired of “lever action thumb.” Those side loading gates can be painful, especially in cold weather.

I have the Marlin 45-70 also. I use it when I'm hunting in the woods. I like the gun but I favor the 35 Remington my father gave me when I was 12 years old. The guns are similar except for the caliber.
