Lever Gun Porn

I had an older beat up 35. It was the best shooting lever I ever put in my hands, as I remember @3/4" group at 100yds. The cartridge didn't perform as well as I needed in the woods. I hated to sell that gun as it was a keeper of a life time because of it's accuracy. I sold it to a friend of mine on a deal. He is a big fan of the 35. I told him not to ever sell that one. After a range session he agreed. So after that I started using a 375H&H for a brush gun. Hits the mark even through trees, instant blood trail and doesn't tear up the meat.

I think you are the first person in history to say the 35rem doesn’t perform well
 
Proofs in the pudding. I was over looking a creek bottom up in a tree when 3 deer came by. I emptied that 35 at about a 40yd range, didn't hit one deer. Started to reload and another showed up, I drew my side arm 44mag at same range and blew the heart out of a doe with one shot. I did kill one deer with that 35 at 225yds, 10" hold over zeroed at 4" high at 100yds, one shot on a open field. Had to track that deer for hours to find it. I've had much better luck with a 308. The 35 was a 200gr bullet, I moved to a 375H&H 270gr bullet with my hand load. I can hunt in brush so think that you can't see the deer until you use optics. I hit my mark every time, instant blood trail and no meat loss. I've even shot through a small tree to get my deer. I know the 35 is legendary and I've known a lot of people in my life swear by them. It just didn't do what I needed/wanted.....

you missing 3 deer at 40 yards isn’t the guns fault…..
 
That's it I don't usually miss. The bullet was obviously defected. That's the point. I've never missed no matter the brush with that 375. I was looking to improve on a brush gun from a 308 180gr bullet. Didn't happen till I moved to a 375 270gr. I was having to pass on Deer because I didn't want to push the 308 that far. I've hunted in some crazy thick brush with that 375

Are you for real?
 
Here's my 1955 Marlin 39a Mountie that my grandpa passed down to me a few years ago. Said he used it for hunting jack rabbits in the hills around Sacramento back in the day. Still amazed at the quality of this firearm every time I handle it, they absolutely don't make them like this anymore.

Love the family history - it's an AMERICAN tradition from generation to generation.
