Another beauty! Even the hand guard was designed to be comfortable.

Free Iowa DNR site that people just trashed the hell out of. I found a private range about 25 miles closer to me, and I'm in heaven. Huge pistol range, 100 yd range for sighting in optics, and covered stations for 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 yds, all with steels placed at distance. Nestled in between a couple of dairy farms. Just outstanding, and only $45/yr to be a member. I go on Mondays and more often than not it's just me, or me and one guy at a rifle station pulling the trigger every 10 minutes or so while I go John Wick on the pistol range.

That's good livin' and for the price of a couple of boxes of ammo your set for the year. Nice!

Bad guys/gals beware, if you come in I'll shoot your eye out. Literally, I can live with that.

Marlin levers
Left tor to right 45-70 limited , CB 44 mag and CB 357 mag

The 357 and 44 are a blast to shoot!!
We shoot bowling pins at 100 yards .
Good thing I reload ! Those pistol rounds can get expensive !!

I have the 44 in 20" with round barrel. Now that Ruger is the caretaker of Marlin, if they produce a 41 mag 18" with octagon barrel I am there. Be nice to have a complementary lever gun for my two favorite pistols!
