In the past, I’ve always been particular about keeping my rifles as pristine as possible and still feel that way. However, I do enjoy carrying old well-worn favorites that I don’t have to worry about as much.
My old Marlin 444 is one of them, and I carried it most of the season last year and probably will this year. There’s just something about the smoothness that the well used ones acquire.
An old favorite.

A man is best measured not by what motivates him, but what it takes to stop him.

We score trophies, but every hunt is, to some extent, a way of measuring ourselves.

Love them old lever actions!

I wish I had a lever gun to mix in. Sweet looking rifle!
