Getting the Handi 45-70 has now forced me to get another 45-70. Why? Because I wanted another lever action rifle and I'll already be buying dies, brass etc.
Anyway, I was thinking about the newer Remlin 45-70 guide gun or the Henry. I like the look of the stainless 1895's, I have never fired one though. I am familiar with the Henry as I have one in 30-30. Henrys are good rifles, but the Marlin guide gun would be an excellent addition.... provided it isn't junk like some of the reviews claim it is .
Also, I think I like the way the Marlin loads compared to the way the Henry loads....but the function, fit, and finish off the Henry is excellent.
Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had a newer Marlin 1895, an what their experience was.
