[QUOTE="Antonio m, post: 1612033, member: 96191"] I don't know if others feel this way and have only owned one Marlin GBL 45/70. This was a Remlin, it shot well enough and cycled well enough but I sold it because It felt cheap . I handloaded for it, with no real issues except the brass was extraordinarily light duty and purchased a Browning BLR/ .450 . On paper / thru the chronograph it is comparable but as a hunting rifle the .450 is superior, imo. The cartridge case is heavier walled and belted and designed for higher pressures and has a detachable box magazine. In the past I worked as a Game guide and was asked to work for an outfitter here on some spring Grizzly hunts- and then the season was closed. I still carry it quite a bit , this area is Grizzly country and I am horseback. It is a great saddle rifle. No regrets moving to the .450 Marlin .My little old opinion.Cheers [/QUOTE]
