[QUOTE="Stk, post: 3101902, member: 98934"] No firsthand information on that one but the new ruger-made marlins are very nice. What is it back up for? Is it just to have a second rifle available for your children should there be an issue with theirs, or are you “backing them up” in using it to defend against bears and whatnot? If the latter, where do you live and plan to hunt? If it’s a back up rifle for your kids, a 45-70 may not be the best choice. Not sure a suppressor helps your intended use. It will definitely add weight and make it more cumbersome to carry, so if you don’t intend to shoot it unless something goes wrong, I don’t know if I’d bother. It may be counterproductive if you’re carrying it to defend against animals. [/QUOTE]
