That’s a great question, my friend. I’m sure that I am not the first to say this, BUT I think that it is a bit of both ~~~ CHANCE and DESIGN doing a little dance and having fun at our very expense. In the end, I suppose that our reactions to situations unfolding is what may be graded. Who knows … watching a NHL playoff game, at the mo (Vegas and Edmonton). Not sure if you might be married, but (if so) a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY wish to your wife. And to yourself ~~~ a happy weekend. Enjoy! ttyl

Yeah it's a shame 2 see a legendary company like Remington go down hill...

The Henry's look nice...but now that Ruger owns marlin I thought I'd get 1...apparently the Remington marlins were shitty quality...the ruger made 1s look really nice...

It's a bit pricey 2 run...$5.50 per round...but I got the reloading dies 4 it so I should be able 2 half the price per shot...

I was lucky 2 get it...every shop I rang said they didn't have any n had no idea when the next shipment was happening...then I rang 1 shop n he said they had 1 left...so I grabbed it....

I got the trapper model...16in barrel...

Its a very cool bit of hardware...I'm a instant fan of the 45/70...

420LOVE, Koukla 💚💚💚
