New 1894 TD 450 Marlin
Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2017 12:18 pm
After looking for quite a while in local shops and not finding something I liked, I ended up ordering a Model '94 Takedown in 450 Marlin. When I picked it up this week, I found out it was ported. Although I am disappointed with this, that is the extent of my negative observations.
This gun is absolutely gorgeous. Great attention to detail. All stampings are sharp, straight and perfectly perpendicular or inline with the surfaces they occupy. Proportions are perfect: slender and elegant. Fits me better than any other rifle I own. My eyes are almost perfectly aligned with the sights when I quickly shoulder it.
My first impression of the front sight is that I like how unobtrusive it is, but wonder how visible it would be in certain circumstances.
After I shoot it, I'll report on how bad my shoulder hurts.
