Good afternoon, I am in the market for a new rifle to give to a family member that is hiking etc up in Alaska. I was all set to get the 45/70 Marlin 1895 SBL with an 18" barrel when low and behold i came to realize they are sold out apparently nationwide.
Not being any sort of gun expert I would appreciate any advice or suggestion on a similar rifle that would work out. I like the lever action, shortened barrel and knockdown power the Marlin offered..can anyone offer some other specific ideas for a comparable purchase? (< $1000 preferably)
Thanks!
