1895 Marlin Cowboy 45/70
Haven't bought a Marlin in a while with all the bad press about Remlins. Well this Marlin is flawless. Wood to metal is perfect. Action is smooth as silk. Better than my 80s Marlin 1895. I didn't give it a 5 because the bluing is not that old school Colt blue. And for the price you can't beat it. Haven't been able to shoot it yet, but if it shoots like it looks it's a keeper.

Excellent gun chambered for the 45-70
I have owned this gun for 3 years and have shot well over 1,200+ rounds out of it. So far no problems at all.Not even a jam.However I usually shoot it single shot since some of my handloads are seated too far out to properly function through the mag tube.For its price it is a steal. I put a limbsaver recoil pad on it and the recoil is reasonable even with 400 grains doing 1900+ fps.It is an accurate gun.I can shoot 5 shoot groups at or around 3 inches at 100 yards open sights.I have heard of people shooting 3 shot 1.5 inch groups @ 100 yards with a scoped version. Which makes it suitable to take ANY game in the world with the right bullet.Bullet trajectory past 150 yards is the only negative downside for this gun.

Great Gun and Great Company!!!
I purchased this rifle a few years back because it seemed like it would be a fun gun to shoot and I eventually would like to take it on a buffalo hunt. The gun itself looks great... the finish and the stock are very nice. The gun shoots great out of the box. I have no problem accurately hitting targets from 75-100 yards out. Their is a little bit of kick, but not too bad. I had a minor issue with the spring feed on the storage tube, but I called Marlin and had my gun sent in, repaired and returned within a week. All in all, this is a great gun and is manufactured and supported by a great company.
