The marlin.

Another vote for the Marlin, but in 45/70 not .450 Marlin, the only option other than 45/70 that makes sense to me is the .450 Alaskan.

Browning. Stronger action, on par with a bolt. Clip magazine allows pointed bullets. Both are too light for that caliber, IMHO, and could use an extra half pound or so of weight.

Would take either one in a heartbeat though.

 

[Amphibious]

marlin of course.

Browning - you can use more aerodynamic bullets and I just like the smoothness of the blr.

Another for Marlin 45-70GG.DAN>>>

I'd go Browning for the pointed bullets and I find the Marlin too limiting in cartridge length, bullets have to be seated too deeply.

If they are properly made for the 45/70 their crimping groove will be in the right place.......and it will allow you to put in enough RL-7,AA-2015, or H-335 to give you headaches at the gun range.

I like the Speer 350 grain semi spitzer but it's cannular is too far back to crimp into and run through the Marlin action. There are many other bullets with the same problem. I am hoping the BLR is long enough but I don't know for sure.

I had the browing and hated it. Marlin

Easy choice:

BLR

 

[Big Guy]

Marlin in 45-70 and reload !

 

[Win/64]

The Marlin. I Like when they go boom.

 

[Takujualuk]

I have the Marlin. You can load the Speer 350 FN with a Lee crimp die and enough H322 to be heavily compressed.

I like the Marlin it is MOA accurate with the correct loads!!!!

 

[Billy The Kid]

BLR for sure.
