My favorite rifle is my Marlin Guide Gun. I have several rifles in chambered in other bottle neck cartridges but for woods hunting the Guide Gun is the one I always carry.

Reloading for it is the only way to go. Mild to wild and everything in between.

My Guide Gun has the factory ported barrel. Some don't like the porting but I am not in that lot.

Viva the 45-70. They got it right over one hundred years ago and it will be here one hundred years from now.
