Went shooting yesterday

[Scotsman1886]

I took my two Marlins out shooting for the first time yesterday. It was a much shorter session that I had wanted but my wife has a way of adding up the Honey-does whenever I mention I'm going to the range,,,,but that's another story.
I shot mostly at steel at 50 and 100 yards. The plates are about 12 by 24 inches.
First the 336 in 44 mag. Shot well and without a hitch. Action was smooth and flawless. Hit the steel most every time. I think my missed were my fault and not the gun.

Second was the 1895CB in 45-70. Well its my new favorite gun if that tells you anything. Again flawless action and it hit when I did my part.

I'm an official Marlin guy now.

I trained my  wife over 30 years ago about her "honey do's" when I go shooting---I come home when 'I'm done shooting"--not when she wants me to do some work. Of course she is usually invited to come along too--but we quit when I say so.  She got pissed  a few times--now she usually comes along, and has taken a liking to shooting pistols. I guess she figures that if  she couldn't beat me--then join me--better going shooting than stopping off at a bar and drinking for several hours. Lord knows that with the price of reloading stuff going up--might be a wash if I took up drinking--but probably not near as much fun.

Besides it would be a better kind of hurt the next morning after shooting than after a night of drinking
