Yes.

Yes. 30-30 Marlin. Really nice, not a distance gun, but it'll knock something down. The .45 is even more so in both aspects, but the action is smoother, IMO.

Got a 94 in 45 Colt. Nice shooting little piece. No real recoil. Not a distance rifle. If I'm not mistaken, they make that Marlin in some heavy hitting calibers, like 350 Remington, 45-70 Govt., and .444 Marlin. Pumpkin rollers for sure. Slap a cat flat.

Ya know what the south sed about the henry repeater?
"That yankee rifle can be loaded on Sunday and shot all week"

A favorite quote. A lot of models are ambidextrous, too. Something cool about catching brass on a flat brim hat.

Gnome, you & I are curmudgeons in training. I still have a second grader, but I'm getting my first taste of the grandparent life. Little Josie is crawling and calls me "Hey".

But, yes, a cool way to burn powder. Shot one in the early 90's, a .45 cartridge, light & accurate, but the back blast was tremendous.
