Picked up one in 45-70 this last weekend and love it so far. Did a little shooting and it shoots great. it is my first Marlin lever and my first 45-70. I have been looking at them for awhile and settled on the SBL sure glad I got one. Going to put a Montana sling on it and leather stock slip with bullet loops. I like the ones from levergunleather.com but they are like 6 months out. Does anyone know of any other makers of these, that they like at a reasonable price and turnaround time? Not sure about putting a scout scope on it yet, I do like it with just sights. But I wouldn't mind having an adjustable apeture on it.
