Have been switching back a forth between the XL and the standard Co-ax. I think I like the standard better. The XL is much heavier duty than I need for most of my loading. It is nice to have it's capacity sitting in the dugout just in case. Whatta Hobby!

Brother, I've had my Marlin 1895 GBL since 2015, as my "Merry Christmas to ME" gun. I did the XS Sights lever rail on it, and put on a PA red dot just to see how long it would last on that gun. It ain't dead yet, decade later. I have over 1k rounds through that gun, with that red dot. It won't die. I can shoot that thing to 300 yards easy, with the red dot, with a 100 yard zero. It's a fuqqn beast. 45-70 is the shiit.

147gr Speer Gold Dot. It's not hype. I've been rolling that in all of the daily rigs for over a year. That's where it's at. CBP ammo now is 147gr Speer Gold Dot. With a dark coating on the projectile. I don't know what that coating is, don't care. It's still 147gr Speer Gold Dot. I'm maxed out in it, for daily carry, and deep. Have been for a year.

Know anybody that fits these descriptions?

Great video time to shoot up all my 115 and start replacing with 147.....

I need a new charging cable.

I need to add some 147 grain 9mm to my emergency gun in my bag.

I like her...

Thanks. They’re suppose to be better for aging eyes. I think that’s solid advice. I don’t see much of a point going out beyond x6 for what the rifle is but that’s just personal preference. Just found a company that does a different style +6 “quiver” for the stock. Ranger Point Precision is on the handguard now. I could easily move to an extra 18 carry without going nuts on the handguard 🤔

Roger that thanks for clarification.

For someone to be cocky enough, without a real ranging reticle etched into the glass of their binos, to accurately measure what they are calling on you - Someone telling you that "You are 0.3 Low" - is just guessing. Sounds tough, though. Motherfucker, they sure SOUND like they know what they're talking about. They don't. That was Bravado - looks cool in the crowd. Most people believe it, and think they know what they're sayin.... Reality is different.

At distance, I can actually fuq you up with a set of these binoculars. This is not common. This is the reticle in them. This isn't civilian shiit, and very few civilian companies even know this is a thing.

My MAIN ISSUE is with something that can think they can CALL... "You are 0.3 mils LOW!" When that person does NOT have a ranging reticle, in MILS, in their spotting scope, or binos. THAT is Bravado, bullshiit, and not accurate. But it sounds tough to everyone else, that's at the match. First thing THEY think is "Wow! This guy really know his shiit!" And NOT. It was guessing, from the get go. Sounds cool though - until it backfires on you, as the Spotter, and someone calls you on your shiit calls... Someone that really knows...

Hardly EVER. It's a special set of glass, if you have a ranging reticle in it. Those aren't normal. Military Steiner Binos - those have a MIL ranging reticle in them. Commercial, civilian stuff - very rare. Some do, though. In this case I was talking about - no ranging reticle. Guesses about what people were shooting. Bad guesses. Spotting, you don't know what some asshead is running, no idea - it's either Mils or MOA. No clue. Most snotty Spotters ASS-ume Mils, and call that, arrogantly. Hey, might have that MOA shooter on the line. That's a SPOTTER PROBLEM... Whence doing this shiit for a minute, you LEARN... CALL TARGET SIZE. That's what a GOOD SPOTTER does. Don't care what you're shooting, Mils or MO-AHS, doesn't matter. I'm calling your last splash in relation to the target - "you were LOW ONE TARGET, and HALF TARGET LEFT!" If I do THAT, as a spotter, I don't have to worry about what your reticle system is - and I don't care what you're shooting. I gave you an accurate call, based in dirt flying, and YOU figure out what your next step is gonna be, for correction... My input is yours - decision now is yours.

Nice rifle Jay! A good 3x or 5x prism scope would be a nice addition to that.

Any optic recommendations for my new Marlin? I think a prism scope might be a good direction. This will only be a fun range gun for the time being. Little to no experience with lever actions but had to scratch this itch for some reason. I’ve wanted a 45-70 for a while now. Any other advice is welcome.

I tried a Chef Jose Andres’ egg recipe and loved it: Whip egg with a spoon full of mayo (full-fat), pinch of salt and pepper, butter for greasing, and little Parmesan. Microwave in a very small bowl or cup for 45-60 seconds. The mayo keeps me from making it daily but I love it.

either of those plates would work for me......

I'm going to have to up my game... My weekend off day breakfast is hashbrowns with peppers and onion, a good shake of Montreal Steak Spice. When almost done add left over meat, break 2 eggs on top then shredded cheese. Place cover on pan,turn heat down and continue to cook till eggs done.

It depends on state and even city ordinances, there’s a town just north of me that’s had these electric K cars for 20 years running around town, but importing is very limited

This is usually my weekend off day breakfast 3 eggs, potato, bacon unless I got steak or something left over and maybe some random veggies if they need to get used up, topped with hot sauce or salsa and some avocado
