I do most of my hunting with a Marlin Guide Gun, and it is great. I have it set up with the scout scope, and with Win 300gr hollow points it will shoot half inch groups. The 45-70 in my opinon is one of the most versatile short range cartridges made. You can hunt anything from deer to elephants. Check out Garret Cartridges and Buffalo Bore's web sites to see what the 45-70 is capable of. You are making a great choice on the Marlin and the 45-70, they are a great combo.
