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!).

I've never been a real big lever action fan but I want one myself. Sweet looking gun and perfect for its purpose.

I've got a TC Encore and have several barrels for it and have been wanting to get a 45-70 barrel but haven't yet. I may just not and get one of these.

I remember my uncle having a 444 Marlin way back in the day, lever gun, and it packed a punch. The 45-70 will do anything you want it to at reasonable ranges which covers like 90% of your shots around here.
