But there are a couple that have caught my eye over the years for aesthetic, historical, or other reasons. So, I was watching the movie "Wind River" the other day when I fell in love with this baby:
It's a Marlin 1895SBL, a lever-action that fires a .45-70 round. It is primarily for hunting big game. It was also featured in "Jurassic World"
I figure that might satisfy my lust until I can afford a Stoner or Barrett .50 cal!
(On a side note: I didn't realize until now that Jeremy Renner was a lefty, Righties never notice these things... until it is too late! LOL!).
That is one beautiful rifle. About the Lefty thing? What's weird, is that I shoot handguns with my Left hand, and long guns from the Right shoulder. Just like I throw darts Left handed, and throw a ball right handed.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
