you can get glow in the dark paint but you have to charge those, or you can replace the sight with tritium or fiber optics

get a rifled slug not a sabot. Sabots work best in rifled barrels and rifled slugs work in both rifled barrels and sabots

depends on the bullets you use. if your shooting full copper bullets your gonna have lots of copper fouling. I shoot a .45-70 that is a copper jacketed flat point with a sfot lead flat point and partial core... i get hardly any copper fouling, mostly lead. If i get copper fouling it is hardly...

I think i'm gonna go with a compc3 in 2moa, and get one of those 3x magnifiers down the road at some point. This way i can flip the magnifier out of the way if i want no magnification for quick shots and flip it back for longer steadier shots

one battery can last up to 5 years on setting 7 our of 10. Then you can buy a double battery kit that lets you store an extra battery right on the sight so if you run out you can put the new battery in. Aimpoints are the best i think.

what do you guys think about an aimpoint compc3 in 2moa forward mounted, with an extra wide qd ring to handle recoil, and for hunts where i am expect 100-200yard shots i can tack on an aimpoint 3x magnifier with flip to side mount... i'm a little concerned about eye relief on these there only 3"...

thanks maverick...yea i agree 100% with everything you said... reloading equipment will be next on my agenda... plus it's a good skill to have... First order of business i getting this marlin 1895 tuned up to where i want it... which means i still need to take care of the scout set up, a big...

Every hunt with a decent guide in africa you will have atleast a few people backing you up... no matter what gun you use, even if you bring a .50BMG. The reason is common sense.. you don't walk into the african bush alone, even in north america it's not wise to venture into the alaska bush...

I have a few boxes of 400 grain remingtons and i wouldn't hesitate to use them on virtually anything except maybe grizzly i'd want something more solid, but the only reason i want the buffalo bore is for the flattery trajectory The only reason i chose the buffalo bores @ 2000fps is more for...

I don't have the money for handloading equipment yet, so for now i'll just have to go with the commercial stuff... but eventually i'd like to start handloading, until then commerical ammo will be the ticket. There are some big black bears here in new york... one guy shot one last season with...

the .45-70 probably has more recoil when you get up to heavier bullets loaded hot like 400-500 grain size.

is this rifle for africa... your not gonna be able to really use any of these rifles for anything other than african hunting or grizzly or moose or bison in the states or elk. A .45-70 has more versatility in my opinion, you can buy or load cartridges and hot or cold as you want them depending...

a.r.m.s are really that junky? then why so expensive

its not a guide gun its the classic 1895 with 22" barrel, and i had the mag tube fully extended so i'd say it's probably a pound or 2 heavier than a guide gun. I have an XS lever rail. I've looked at leupold scopes and the only thing i wish they had was an electronic reticle, a standard...

thanks bro... i'm a beginner so any info is appreciated.

.45-70 Everything thinks it's slow and weak because of the factory loads but in a modern marlin 1895 you can buy ammo or load ammot almost up to .458 win mag levels. It's been proven on all of the africa's big 5 and big 6. It is the most versatile cartridge you could own.. you can load...

thanks bro

interesting info here. I've been doing more research, seems like cerakote is better especially for metal. I'm probably just gonna leave the gun the way it is, i've actually taken this rifle through some nasty weather and it's held up fine. I live in southeastern new york and during deer/bear...

That looks like a sophisticated scope. It's going on a marlin 1895 so i wanna get it as low as possible, wow that looks good bro. Thanks for all the advice much appreciated. I was looking at some one-piece mounts by american defense and larue so i don't have to use seperate rings, and worry...

I saw the bushnell one for sale at cabelas for 100 bucks... the thing i don't like about it, is that i want to be able to do up to 150-200 yard shots, and i think with a 3moa dot it may be more difficult than the 9000L's 2moa dot. I've thought about the aimpoint micro but it has smaller field...
