After a long year I had to abandon looking for a Henry H010B, my gunsmith was not able to get it.
After a moment hesitating,
(I was quite fascinated by the 1886 deluxe winchester, but expensive and not easy for optic mount), I found available a Marlin 1895 SBL immediately !She had deducted me at first, but seemed rather difficult to obtain in France.
Some pictures of "the beast":
My father who was a sailor brought me a US flag from one of his trips
I like the look of wood and steel:
I do not want to take the risk of damaging it and I could not buy it for a second, I also bought a ba13 take down bergara, one shot, to test the powerful reloading.
Bergara is a gun makers that provides many well-known brands.
So, I could do the tests with, and then use them in the marlin ...
And as I had been waiting for a year, I was able to save money and I fell for a red dot + magnifier (vortex strikefire 2 & vmxt3)
I hope that it will hold "the shock" and that it will be appropriate with the marlin.
if someone among you to feedback on this material with 45-70, I am very interested !
As the range is closed for the summer, I had time to have fun surrounding the back lever with 550 paracord :
may be someday i will end up getting a henry, the long ranger is easy enough to find here and not too expensive ...
See you soon !
