Key Hay Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm thinking Chris Pratt (Who plays Owen Grady) should try SASS Cowboy action. He was pretty fast with his Marlin 1895SBL Stainless 45-70! He was pretty quick at taking out Pterodactyls using factory ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kajun Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I saw the movie on Sunday.....full length mag tube on that gun. Did you notice the extra rounds on the sling too? I wonder if it had a Widdermatic action job? :D Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it had a Widdermatic action job? :D Kajun Haven't see the movie yet, but he should have gotten himself the 1895 Cowboy version. Holds 9 + 1. Mine doesn't have a full Widder job but has benefited from a good polishing of the carrier, a stainless steel follower, and tuned springs. I have found that you can cycle the action faster than a round can move onto the carrier. Have had to learn to slow down a little and give that 2.55 inch long, round time to get into position or it will lock up the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 When I saw that rifle I found myself thinking, is that gonna be enough? For dinosaurs, I'd want nothing smaller than a Browning .50. Preferably fired from a Ma Duce, mounted on at LEAST a Sherman tank. (You can't get newer ones on the surplus market, as far as I know...)

J-BAR #18287 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Some folks have posted that he did not use the lever on the rifle between shots...some kind of new automatic lever rifle I guess! Can anyone confirm?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'll have to watch the movie, but I have a Marlin GBL and I can tell you that mine is nowhere near that smooth. I guess I need to start smoothing it out in case of pterodactyl attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I haven't seen the movie either, but I think I'd want at least a MaDeuce, and maybe even a LAW or RPG of some sort. Actually, a Bradley Fighting Vehicle with a 20mm chain gun and a Dragon anti-tank launcher would be a good sightseeing vehicle! However, the question arises...are these critters considered an endangered species? Is this preserve considered exempt from species preservation? What does dino meat taste like? Chicken? Does a tourist have to sign a waiver of liability in case they wind up as dino lunch? What is the danger of being hit with pterodactyl droppings? Inquiring minds (however dimented) want to know!

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Of course dinosaurs don't taste like chicken. Mythbusters did a whole episode of various meats that have been claimed to taste like chicken. None of them did. I assume its *possible* that dino meat tasted like chicken, but it prolly tasted like something else. Prolly like dinosaurs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castalia,SASS#18915 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Spoiler alert!!!! They hunt in packs. While you are aiming at the one in front. The ones on your flank confuse you. The one behind gets you. The dinosaurs think of you as slow meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Nelson Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Of course dinosaurs don't taste like chicken. Mythbusters did a whole episode of various meats that have been claimed to taste like chicken. None of them did. I've had alligator and to me it did taste like chicken. Dry, chewy, overcooked chicken. Like Mom used to make. The dinosaurs think of you as slow meat. Well, that's 'cause I am!

Trailrider #896 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just saw a trailer for "The Rifleman" series. It actually showed Lucas adjusting the screw in the lever bow/trigger guard. You know, the one they put in after he speared his finger with the trigger while doing the hipshot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I have not seen the movie yet. It would hard to beat Sean Connery's use of the Winchester 1873 in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Coroner Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've seen the movie. The only time I remember him using the Marlin was in the "big fight" at the end of the movie. He used a different "gun" when he and a bunch of others were shooting at the Pterodactyls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm thinking Chris Pratt (Who plays Owen Grady) should try SASS Cowboy action. He was pretty fast with his Marlin 1895SBL Stainless 45-70! He was pretty quick at taking out Pterodactyls using factory ammo. You might be closer than you think. I just IMDBed him, and he filming a new movie........The Magnificent Seven!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Mulo Vaquero, SASS #55942 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Perhaps he should use an early Marlin 1895, 45-90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
