Marlin Dark Series 1895 45-70

[Enigma]

I've seen the pics, now I've seen one in person. My #1 hunting buddy picked one up for an upcoming bear hunt in Manitoba. Idk about the looks of it personally. It sure doesn't look "classic" lol. But he really likes it and that's all that matters I guess. Say's it's a really thumper and he can't wait to put his suppressor on it when he gets back. 

Some friends like ugly guns. Some friends like ugly women. I guess they both have their place haha.

The black tactical look is the in thing these days, rifles and shotguns of all types are getting the black treatment. Whatever floats your boat as they say, but not my cup of tea.

I'm definitely checking the box and voting that its an  " Ugly Gun "  . But hey , thats why they make so many different kinds ! So there is something for everybody !

I have a walnut stocked Marlin 95 45-70, it was passed down to me from my Dad, he killed Deer with it and I have taken several with it, accurate and reliable, I believe with the right ammo one could hunt just about anything that walks with a 45-70. Regardless of the furniture she is wearing that Dark series model 95 Marlin will make a great Bear hunting rifle I think.

On e of my guys comes up here and hunts with a black out. He is a police officer and loves the gun. It's weird to me.

All my guns are either black or a camo pattern. None of them have any character whatsoever. When I see a sexy natural wood stock I get a little jealous.
