Marlin 1895 SBL 45/70
I finally got around to taking my Marlin 45/70 to the range. While I was shooting it 2 guys came over and wanted to know what the h#ll I was shooting. I told them 45/70 and showed them the rounds I was shooting. One guy had never seen or heard of the 45/70 and the other said "I knew it was something powerful just from the noise." I have never had that reaction shooting a 45/70 before.
I do not like the ghost ring sight on the rifle. I am getting to the point to where I feel comfortable enough to use it for deer hunting this year. I have 4 months to get my shooting dialed in for deer season.
Any advise on shooting with a ghost ring sight?I always stressed to my son"one shot one kill that was all that is needed". When He came home from Marine Corp Boot camp He was telling me about the Marines stressing "ONE SHOT ONE KILL" He looks at me and the light bulb went on Dad was now a whole lot smarter than he was 13 weeks ago.

You look through the ring and put the front sight on what you want to hit. Don’t over think it.
