I keep bouncing this around in my head. I've decided to hit the shop tomorrow and give the gun a real good once over. Check the bore, make sure the action is solid and what not.
If nothing else it's unique as it is a conversion gun, and has been pointed out it will process H&H ammo (which is actually cheaper in some cases than just buying Weatherby brass
).
I'd really been in the market for a 45-70 Marlin guide gun when I saw this, and I'm thinking this gun will probably win if it's in good shape. The .375 is definitely more versatile and the recoil of a heavy 45-70 in a light gun vs. a moderately loaded .375 in a heavy gun should be about a wash after running the numbers, with the .375 having more umph behind it.
