    both the 45-70 govt and the 444 marlin are heavy recoil rifle but the 444 is the lesser of the two evils

    ... on a side note: If I never see another Handi-rifle at the shop again it will be too soon :mad:

    I got the same rifle and thought it was going to be a mule to shoot! I shot 19 rounds through it on the first range trip. 405 gr. remington soft point and then went back and sighted it in with the 325gr. leverevolution(a little more recoil then the 405gr. rem.) the optima has that nice recoil pad and for the money you can't beat it with a stick!
