For me, the one thing that Sootch's videos stand outs and is superior to other gun reviewers is that he goes into an educational depth that helps those who have never been accustomed to certain guns. Most reviewers will talk about the gun and shoot it but Sootch goes beyond that to show every detail of the firearm with great close ups and explanations. Thank you Sootch for your in depth reviews. Even though I won't purchase this weapon, I learned so much about it.

@IloveYou-zh3ob 11 ай бұрын

This rifle has lots of power kzfaq.infoUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL , hard recoil and a little heavier than expected which affects accuracy, especially when firing freehand or hunting small game. Really rough on sites, as it often moves inside mounting rings. Replaced sight with a UTG Bugbuster, which required medium height mounting rings, but improved accuracy while sighting in as shown in attached photo, at 20 yards using Gamo Match Diablo pellets at 7.56 grain. Nonetheless, I am still trying to figure out where to install the mounting rings on the scope to avoid it from sliding around, as it becomes misaligned after about 50 or 60 shots. Currently considering using heavier pellets at about 9 grain with different tips like the H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme or the Crosman Ultra Magnum to see if accuracy improves. Overall, I am having lots of fun with this rifle.

Sootch when I look at a Winchester or Marlin lever action rifle I am absolutely amazed by the mechanical function because it is unlike any other weapon that we've ever created. If I were lost in the wilderness it would be my first choice for survival. Because if I'm confronted by a bear I have the confidence that that gun will work and that bear will go down. But of course it's a bear walks away I'll walk away too. Out of respect for nature. I always love watching your videos Bud you've given me a lot of useful information and may God bless you and yours always!

That's cool that you can finally get a Skinner Peep Sight from the factory. There's nothing wrong with a buckhorn sight. However, there are those of us who learned to shoot with peep sights & those who simply prefer them. That's a beautiful rifle. My understanding is the birdshot load was a .410 shot shell. I think that's what the .410 was originally developed for. I think you could only use the .410 shot shell in the Trapdoor Springfield. IIRC, the Army eventually sent .410 shotguns to the units stationed in the western forts...again...for foraging.

I loved Marlin rifles before Remington ruined them. I have a Remington made 336 in 30-30, and I got lucky because it's not a bad gun. My first Marlin, though, was a 30AW in 30-30 I got back in the 80's. It was a tack driver at 100 yards. I sold it and the rest of my guns when I got orders to England in 1996 because I couldn't take them with me, and I regret that very much. I've always been interested in the 45-70, so this looks like something I could possibly look at in the future.
