My son last year. Marlin 1894 41 Mag

41 mag!? That's a rare one. Great caliber

I'm using an 1894, 1911 built 32 special with a 26 inch half round, half octagon. I get 2642fps with factory leverevolution ammo. Only problem is it shoots higher than the buckhorn sight will adjust.

I've long contended trophy animals deserve to be hunted rather than sniped. Accordingly, I've acquired Henry X rifles in 30-30 and 44 Magnum that will be put to work in the field this fall.

I have one of those as well. Took me several years to find one for a price I was willing to pay. Love the 41 mag.

Here is my latest kill with my Brockman 45/70. I have also taken hogs, elk, and black bear. The bullet is a hard cast 540gr Hammerhead from Garret. It broke both shoulders, took out the lungs and the top of the heart. Found it just under the skin on the off side.

Took my wife to South Africa and a bunch of hides came home to us last year.

Photos of youngsters with their harvest using lever guns always puts a smile on

With recent threads on 30/30, I am now on a mission to tag a deer this year with my Dad's Winchester 30/30 serial number built in 1954. I think he would look down and smile. Loaded 170 flat nose and good to go!

So let's see those lever action kills whether 30/30, .35 Rem, 32 Spl.

If you are wearing buffalo plaid so much the better!

Marlin 1895 44 mag 270 gr speer deepcurl. Definately takes the squeal out of hogs.
My primary deer rifle for timber and short range.
Filled the freezer many times.

Is the Brockman a customized Marlin 1895 ?
What velocity does the 540gr Hammerhead shoot from your rifle ?
What is your barrel length ?
Did I notice that your barrel looks to be ported ? If so , was that part of the Brockman Rifle build ?

And CONGRATULATIONS !!!
That is IMPRESSIVE .

I used to exclusively hunt with a Marlin 35rem. Loved that gun, maybe I'll get it back out soon.

Yes, the Marlin I hunt with was modified by Jim Brockman. The barrel was ported by Marlin before I got it. The barrel is 18". Velocity was 1500fps +-. It put him on his nose with the first shot. The second shot running was through the lungs. He piled up about 40 yards later.

 

[DMP25-06]

Your 1st shot put him on the ground , but he still got back to his feet and ran ?
What was distance for your 1st and 2nd shots ?
Incredible animal .

I lost my "Elmer Fudd" hat, so I can't use a 30-30. But I do intend to get a deer this year with my Savage 99 in .308 win. I will try to figure out how to post pictures, if I can just remember to take the pictures.

I told you how to do that already...I was told I had Alzhimer's once....but I forgot what it was!
