in Bozeman this week.....today using marlin 57M in 22 wmr .... i am not sure how many boxes of shells used but well over a hundred little beasties went ker-flop !!

of course, daughter here in college one upped me...her miniature aussie chased one into her house and she caught it by hand [ gloved hand ] .

I prefer your method to hers.

and give its head a quick 270 degree rotation..... that usually settles them down

I have lusted after the Lever-Matic's for some time now. Haven't scratched that itch.

62 in 256 and 30 carbine- all work well and this 57M is easy to shoot snd very accurate

and the dang things are just pretty - nice walnut snd blue steel and sized to fit an grown ups

My 62 in .30 Carbine is wonderfully accurate but serves no purpose here so it's gonna go.
