New gun with a Lever.
I know I'll get flamed for no photos but I've tried and failed (sorry)
Anyway the best way to describe my latest acquisition is that at first glance it looks a bit like a Savage 99 with double triggers and a tube magazine.
Unfortunately it's nothing as exotic, it is a Marocchi o/u 410 with 26" barrels 3" chambers and choked 3/4 + extra full, complete with a full under Lever which may have influenced my choice somewhat!
I may not keep the top barrel so tightly choked but I will have to check the patterns first. It looks quite well made and does not look to have had a lot of use.
Sorry again for the lack of photo's.

Re: New gun with a Lever.
So is light an handy being scaled for the 410 or is it based on bigger frame?
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

Re: New gun with a Lever.
It is built on a 410 frame, I don't know if this model came in any other gauge, it weighs about 6 pounds but is all steel and walnut. I have only fired a few shots to test the action and patterns and it seems good to go on squirrels and if they ever come back around here rabbits...3leggedturtle wrote:So is light an handy being scaled for the 410 or is it based on bigger frame?

Re: New gun with a Lever.
Many thanks,
My old lap top let me do such things but my tablet won't play fair.
That is the same model, they seem quite rare, as I can not find much info on them.
