its a marlin 1895 22" and I had the tube extended, i put in the wild west guns ejector and aluminum follower, i got some buffalo 405 grain soft points, I just bought a tru glor red dot but i'm returning that cause it has too much parallax for me, I want something i can stick on my gun and leave it and have it for as long as the Lord lets us walk his earth... africa, alaska, maine, canada, I want to build my gun so its good for everytying... and yes I dare say it ... AFRICA, belt mountain makes 400 grain solids and buffalo bore sells them for $120 per box, clocked at 2000fps... thats suitable for africa in my opinion, plus if you have a leve rlike mine which can hold 8 rounds in it, your set for a whole pack of lions!!! My marlin is a work in progress, and a neat hobby to get me away from the other passions in my life...
One particular reflex sight taht just came out that Caught my eye was the leupold DELTA POINT, its about $400 witha picatinny cross slot mount. But this thing looks super high quality, parallax free, water proof, highly recoil proof I may just end up getting that little , and the beuaty of this thing over an aimpoint which costs the same is that it weighs like 3 oz or something.. its TINY, but leupold designed the lens to be larger then most of the other reflexes out there like burris fast fire or others.... if you look at the lens on it, it actually comes out like a few millimiters wider on each side, versus say a Burris Fastfire or similar... they say gives it a 26mm sight picture... almost like a traditional 30mm red dot, but faster then a red dot
