And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Marlin 45/70. Had one like it but sold it for some reason. Used a pistol scope on it and took a deer at 135 yards out. Good rifle. Friend of mine still has his. He shot 5 deer one morning with it.
Looks like a rebted-rim cartridge, 350 Legend?
ReplyDeleteSeems bigger than a 350… a 500 perhaps???
ReplyDeleteMost likely 45-70, but possibly 444 Marlin
ReplyDeleteYep, 45-70. Hornady FTX projectile. Designed for tubular magazines but also work great in AR's chambered in .458 SOCOM.
