.444 rifle made in 1997. With late 1960s era Weaver K4 made in Elpaso, TX. Leupold mounts.  I don't care for the mounts but they were free.



.45-70 1895 Made in 1972 (first year) with late 1960s era Weaver K4 made in Elpaso, TX in Weaver low Tip-off Mounts.



336 in .35 Remington.  Early Bushnell Banner 2.5X20 scope in Weaver low Tip-off mounts. The .35 was hard to find. It's a nail driver.

Those look really nice. Which one do you like shooting the most and why?

IMO the .45-70 is as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.  With moderate loads it's a real blast (no pun intended)to shoot with spectacular terminal effects on various objects.  I haven't had a chance to shoot the .444 yet but I expect similar results.  I don't like to shoot really hot loads.  They just take all the fun out of it for me.

Nice collection.

Is this the .444 you were posting about buying a few weeks ago?

I see more old Marlins in my future......

Yes, that's the .444 I bought for $350.00, and the Leupold mount came with it.
