THUMP TIME!!!

[sybo]

Well I finally did it! I thought I had satisfied my need for a "Hammer Of Thor" with my .458 Socom for Hog huntin. I guess not, I ordered a Henry "All-Weather" 45-70 today!! I have been desiring one for a while and even tried a trade from our own Wade here on the forum. That didn't work out so I pulled the trigger today!      

It will wear a Vortex Crossfire 1-4x24 with V-bright illumination. Here Piggy,Piggy,Piggy! I am soo jazzed!

pictures to follow when it arrives!

The lead architect for Wonderworks, obviously . 

Nice rifle.  I have long thought that a Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70 would be fun but wouldn't really ever use it for much, probably not even range.

That is a great looking gun! 45-70 is one of my "someday I need to get one" cartridges, and that gun looks like a worthy vessel.

Countdown to Nov 6 when I leave for my Hog hunt! I'm gonna slam some Ham!

Nice rifle! I got a bug for a 45/70 about the time that Marlin rifles dried up. I like the loading scheme. Like a big 22 rifle. I can see you and the hog lying in the field in pain :). Get you some of them Leverevolution bullets.

Just put a recoil pad on my SOCOM. Fixing to start shooting it some again (speaking of old school thumpers). Limbsaver makes a pad for Magpul stocks now.

I'm pretty fond of mine. I'm just glad somebody finally came out with a real recoil pad for Magpul stocks. I load my 458 in the hot side, and the gun really needs it.
