My favorite, a Marlin model 1895G, 45-70 1st year (1998) Guide Gun!

I'm hunting NW Georgia WMA's and it runs till May 15th. Still working it... 1895gunner

I prefer to keep the components on hand to load thousands of rounds and then only load them prior to using them. It's worked for me thus far and I load a lot! 1895gunner

BIL and I went small game hunting Monday and I had a great time - as usual. Although we struck out altogether on taking game home I had a freight train of five doe come trotting within 15 yards of me, all in a row. I also had some turkey strut by me while sitting on the ground. Just a great day...

My all time favorite Marlin Guide Gun Model 1895g in 45-70. 1895gunner

I've always favored the Guide Guns built by Marlin in the 1998 - 2002 year range because of available factory porting. They are still out there and I would go that direction before buying a newer Marlin. I know they have fixed much of their quality issues, just don't like the new checkering at...

I prefer pre-2010 Marlin's and own many of them. I'd buy a real JM Marlin over a new one any day. I've handled the new ones and they have greatly improved their action & fit but I just can't get over their checkering. I'm a Guide Gun & Outfitter nut so I stick with what I like. 1895gunner

Comrade, enjoy.. I like it a lot - very functional. 1895gunner

Thanks for the note on the oak loading blocks. I actually bought them from a member over on the MarlinOwner forum before I got my wood working shop setup. I'm getting ready to start making them myself now. I do much prefer the wood blocks to store bought plastic or metal ones. 1895gunner

I agree it's good to know that you have choices on powder, I have several fall backs but I've come to like the H4198 in my; 444 Marlin 450 Marlin 45-70 458 Win Mag & someday a 50 Alaskan I've also settled on HP38 with a backup of H110 on my; 38 special 45 ACP 44 Mag 45 Colt My...

bullets?? Remington 300 grain. 1895gunner

Ha, you got it right! I was a senior program manager for the last fifteen years. Thank you for your comments. I enjoy sharing pictures of the shooting sport & preparation for it. 1895gunner

Thanks guys, these pics are just from my iPhone. I'm retired now, for just over a year from Lockheed Martin - not a photographer BTW. Face it, it's the Nickel, Brass & Copper that caught your eye! Regards, 1895gunner

Dang, you have me figured out - that was quick! LOL 1895gunner

I've settled on 45.3 grains of H4198 under the 300gr Remington Jacketed HP. I use Winchester large rifle primers and it shoots 1.00 groups at 100 yards time after time. I haven't put them through a chrony so can't give you muzzle velocity. I use it hog hunting but on deer I use the Hornady...

I was headed to the range this morning with the 444's and decided I wanted to shoot the 45-70's as well so to the bench I went. I loaded H4198 with Remington 300gr HP's in RP nickel plated brass. Had a good time before & during range time today! 1895gunner

Good link. I picked my size so they would hold around 300 of the big bore (300+ grains in size) bullets however there are many sizes to choose from! Thanks, 1895gunner

I bought these off of Amazon: Quantum QTB305 Clear 5-1/4-Inch by 23-5/8-Inch by 6-1/2-Inch Tip Out Bin System, White Then I built the wood shelf over two of them out of poplar. Really like them, very functional and look great. I'll prolly buy more for brass dispensing as well. Thanks...

I've been spending way too much time with my Guide Guns lately so I decided to spend some quality range time this next week with the Outfitters. I started looking around for how much ammo I had loaded and decided I better load up sixty more rounds for Tuesday. I don't own a progressive press...

Outstanding camo jobs. Thanks for sharing. 1895gunner
