A "grail gun," by definition, has to be rare and difficult to obtain. Some of the answers here are very common guns. An M1 Carbine? Really? One man's trash... One day at the range a couple of older gents had in company a younger man I would have guessed to be in the 30ish range. They where at...

Springfield M1A Garand.

I own twice as many guitars as guns so... If I'm a "gun super-owner" what kind of guitar owner am I? I need to contact the writer and ask his opinion of that since he's obviously so smart and his opinion is so important.

Last Saturday I had my very first primer failure ever. It just happened to be a cci BR4??? I tried three times to fire. I pulled that one after getting home (the other 49 of that batch where all fine. After putting on glasses and ear protection I took a hammer to it and BANG! Not sure what...

and then there's... Not sure how other states handle it but here in good ol' virginia one has to be trained AND tested to hold a driving permit. Drive a mile or two down interstate 81 to see how well training and testing eliminate us idiots. Believe me, they are not all out of state drivers...

A nod for H4895 and 120 gr Nosler BTs. My 7mm-08 is a slow 11.25 twist but I found a reduceload that gives 0.625" groups at 100 yards. Not sure about terminal because I no longer hunt but with that accuracy good shot placement shouldn't be hard.

"Next year we'll have been married for 30 years, just gotta know how to pick'em I guess." When my buddy had his music store open, all of the guys that hung out there thought I was the luckiest man Alive because my wife bought most of my guitars for me... some really nice ones. A couple of...

Most memorable: H&H double 450 nitro express #2; M16A1; S&W 500 4" barrel. Still dreaming: M1; Marlin 1895 45-70; .416 Barrett; Browning 1918.

No I did not because of the low round count and the fact that this barrel has always done better after getting ten or more rounds down range. She's back to normal with the Nikon - 1/2". So I'm really thinking something just let go inside. I will try the other BSA when opportunity comes. I really...

I've always avoided BSA scopes along with most other "inexpensive" (cheap) scopes. Being on a limited budget I fixed myself on a Nikon Prostaff minimum. I've purchased hundreds of their cameras for work so thought I'd give them a try. With 4 3-9's and a 4-12 I feel very confident with these...

NEWS FLASH... the little lady said it's ok if I go get that Marlin for myself!!!! Woot

Guys, I started the thread from my curiosity about it not to start a debate. That is why I went to the Marlin site. One I 'm interested in this rifle... secondly I was wondering if they had something different going on. I purchased an aid for my wife to load her 380 because the magazine was hard...

Stoky, that had me laughing out loud... folks around here already think I'm crazy. ...and may be right.

"Damn, I hate language NAZIs!" WOW! I really didn't mean to offend. Sorry.

I'm not bashing Marlin per si. I bought me daughters both model 795's years back and after mounting 4x had less than 100 bucks each in them. I loved taking them to the range and watch them attract the attention of folks shooting much more expensive rifles. My father-in-law has a 336 he purchased...
