Just an aside, but the 1895 Marlin 45-70 Cowboy Carbine built for me by Carlos Martinez at the Rem/Marlin Custom Center is nothing short of amazing, maybe the best handling lever gun I've ever used (and, I must admit, I have a "couple" of lever actions). It is also one of the most beautiful rifles I've ever seen. It's a loaner, but whatever it costs to keep it, I'll pay.

I am taking it to Africa later this summer for Cape Buffalo...the proof is always in the field, but I'm comfortable with it. Will be using Buffalo Bore 430-grainers. Pray for surf.
