In all seriousness, the Marlin is a great rifle, too. I own a Model 60, one of the best rifles ever made.
Brownings are nice, but in terms of quality AND accuarcy AND ruggedness, it's hard to beat the Marlin.
California sucks that's it.
What the hell kind of rifle did he have, .357, .44 mag, .45 LC? I mean with the exception of those calibers, 210 yds would be a chip shot.
I don't like to brag, but I kill deer that far out with my bb gun!
How many of you are old enough to remember Virgil Ward?
