Was at a match in Virginia this weekend and a bunch of guys were talking about your Babbon video.
Thats awesome! New one coming this weekend!
I live in VA and have been trying to go to a match. Never been. I have recently found Smoky Mountain has matches. Any advice on were you went would be greatly appreciated. I think I am mentally ready and trained, I think my rifle setup should do ok. Savage 110 Ultra lite Elite 6.5CM fully built. I just don't know were a match is or when. Thank you.

DUDE!!!!! 200K Subscribers, NICE WORK! You're on a ROLL!!!!!!!
Hey hey! I see our parts! Can't wait to see what you do with them!
Can't wait!
A suppressed .45-70 is Big Fun. A 450 grain cast flat nose at 1050 fps is a very capable hunting round, and is almost Hollywood quiet. You can certainly drive it faster, but at brush gun ranges it doesn't really matter...unless you decide to argue with a Cape Buffalo.
About the lion...I don't care one way or the other, but I'd advise against posting such a hunt on any social media. I personally would not mention it again, because people can get awfully whacko sometimes about the oddest things...probably a result of watching too many Disney movies.
Absolutely agree on this. People can become unhinged about lions for some reason. The normal life-cycle of a lion is to be cast out of the pride later in life and end up starving and being eaten alive by hyenas. Most Africans are way more pragmatic about lions and hunting them, but it appears to be a Western thing that lions are majestic. They smell of carrion, which is really just their nature, and they are NOT the king of beasts, but they have good PR.
The African Lion is a keystone predator and important not only environmentally and culturally but historically for Humans. Nothing I say over the internet can stop someone from sneaking off and doing anything but it's rather arrogant to think that killing something that is already on the vulnerable tag of extestance is somehow acceptable. The idea of the majestic lion goes as far back as Rome and maybe even time immemorial, a true man of culture would respect this but some are lesser Europeans.

Was totally not expecting to see a lever gun on this channel. Nice!
Awesome rifle! I have one completely kitted out with Ranger Point stuff. With a scope, you'll need a cheek riser of some sort. Hopefully you got the Ranger Point adjustable buttstock, as I did. I also needed their additional cheek riser that bolts onto it. That combo works great. I put an old Burris 1-4x "intermediate" eye relief scope on mine, which is perfect for the round. No need for more than 6x on the top end for sure. I've found Accurate 5744 to be ideal with a hard cast 405 grain bullet in "mid-power" loads, by the way. Their data also indicates it will work fine with the 350. Enjoy!
Hunting a Lion would be pointless since that is the gun they hunt the T-Rex with.
Have this exact rifle and love it!! Great choice and we have left ours in the factory configuration! Excited to see what you do to transform this rifle!!
YES! dream gun. Im all for this series 🤘🏼👌🏼
Congrats on 200k🎉
Mark and Sam after work on there channel shot a 45 70 to 1000 yards
Came to say the same thing. Mark can definitely shoot!
Their*
@@fubar9109 Thanks for clarifying. Nobody would ever have figured out what he meant.
Ken Waters rates the Marlin 1895 as very strong. His top load for the Marlin was 42.0gr IMR-4198, 400-405gr Speer, W-W, R-P bullets, 1,760fps. These are not premium grade bullets like the Woodleigh, which is a necessity for Cape Buffalo. His absolute maximum, only in Ruger or Siamese Mauser was 48.0gr IMR-4198 with Speer 400gr for 2,027fps. A 500gr solid at minimum 2,000fps would be considered adequate for buffalo. Putting the ethics of shooting lions to one side, a 400gr premium grade bullet, if available, at +- 1,800fps would do the job.
Nice. Mine just arrived last week in Dark Series. A stock tactical edition
Cool gun, have you looked at the 325gr hornady ftx bullets? I am using these exclusively now, they have great performance on wild boars and big red stags. Also it is by far the best one ballistics wise. The bullet drop and energy retention is far better than normal flat nose hollow point. The bush performance is great while still having a good and reliably fragmenting bullet.
Omg y'all like the video! I need to see how far he can take this thing out!
Love the channel and think your cool, as a big animal lover I don’t think you should hunt the lion, I’ll never say u shouldn’t hunt any animal but I think lions should be off limits unless it’s causing major issues in said area, again do like the content u put out
Would absolutely love to see you stretch this out to 1000 just for fun!
I have the Ruger/Marlin trapper version in 45-70. Favourite gun to shoot. Unless you do something to reduce recoil you may want to rethink your scope choices. I went with the Vortex 2-7X32 Scout Scope for the awesome eye relief.
Iv been hand loading for my 45-70 for a few years now, varget worked pretty well but reloader 7 works like a dream for my rifle.
I got the same one and I love it.
go with a big fast red dot, like the Trijicon MGRS. fast big window perfect for your bush gun use case.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how well a quality red dot suits a lever gun. It keeps the profile of the rifle super low and the target acquisition time is second to none. For close range hunting you can't beat it, and the accuracy is surprising.
Try Hornady 325 gr. FTX bullets, half inch groups at 50 yards for my setup. Though loaded hot they actually do kick more than you'd think even versus heavier 405 gr. and up. A more sharp kick instead of a forceful push.
Congrats on the super nice rifle, I really want to see what it can do out there.
These rail system hand guards are fine, if you need military/tactical accessories, but they ruin the smooth handling characteristics of the basic firearm. Guns with minimal protrusions and sharp edges - like an SKS, or tube-fed shotgun - are quick to grab and get on target. That lever gun looks perfect, as is.
Bliksem Piet! Living the dream bud, I have always wanted a tactical lever gun. Chris Costa approves of this video 😂
Sounds like some cool hunts coming. Lion hunt is interesting. I don’t know anything about it in regards to limits, places policy or culture wise.
for buffalo, ceb or lehigh defense copper solid.
I love your PRS training video. As long as you keep talking precision, im listening. Ps. Lever rifles are the coolest and most fun. It's a very acceptable fun gun video.
Not sure about varget. You might want to look into H4198. That’s what I use in mine and you can load all three power levels(trapdoor, modern lever gun, Ruger number 1) with that powder. With speer 400’s I was getting I think 1600 ft/sec and my plinking load was slightly less powder and a coated 405 cast bullet at 1150-1200. Great cartridge to reload and loads of fun to shoot.
I have been trying different powders in my 45-70 trapper, and my favorite so far has been imr 3031. Im getting 1900 fps with 300 grain bullets, and 1650 with 400 grain cast bullets. RL-7 , and imr 4198 have been good too.
I would recommend a scout scope.
Pete I love what you share and bring to us in the shooting, hunting community. I will share my experience with carbon barrel for a games gun . Don’t use it they heat up after 4 - 5 rounds and don’t shoot .Just my experience. As for the lion hunt I’m not sure I want to support that hunt for any reason!
Anything other than irons on a lever 45-70 is sacrilegious!
Micro dot, super quick target acquisition
Take it to 1000
That would be super sick
It's a tough one..but give context to the lion hunt...it's about time that someone explains to "bunny huggers" who live overseas and who view wildlife through rose tinted glasses, that unfortunately, when we opted to become their stewards, it entails hard choices.
- Game needs to be profitable and sustainable or people will find other uses for the land- look north for references.
- there are occasions when a lion has been evicted from the pride and as an ageing animal it has a slow death from starvation to look forward to.
This is somewhat simplified but an analogy of letting your dog suffer or putting it down is perhaps one to be expanded on.
My 2cents worth bud...
ive just bought a stainless 30-30, Rossi R95 (marlin copy) with a venom 1-6. keen to watch your upgrades to see what is worth while. reloading hornady FTX for extra range and BC
That is baddass 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Pieter, would love to see what you do with this lever action! Make it MEGA-tactical. As for the lion hunt, I think you should make use of the opportunity, especially from an education and disproving the misconceptions associated with it. If you have some time go check out the new calibre proposed for the US military - the 277 Fury, would love to hear your thoughts and to see the potential on the range.
I remember when the Marlin Guide Gun (1895G)first came out in 1998. I had to have that rifle, even as a poor teenager who already worked and saved for a Marlin 1895 the year prior. I put the Guide Gun on layaway at the gun store and paid it off as fast as I could. I still own both Marlin .45-70 lever guns and I'll never part with them.
You should try Hornady 325gr FTX LEVERevolution
Loved my SBL 45-70 so much I bought a 336 dark to go with it, both setup with scout style scope. Also.. Yards? Don't you usually use real units ? :P
Bad ass rifle. I had that rifle black w satin finish. It was loud and the ammo expensive I didn’t find it fun to target shoot with for sure. Neighbors called the cops said I was shooting a cannon lmao,I never had one problem with it shot flawlessly
Awesome rifle P
I have a BLR .22 with a see through sight so I can see my iron sight for a snap shot. Then a scope on the top. On my marlin 45-70 I have a 1-4 Swarovski. I love having a scope but want to lift it to be able to see both scope and iron sight on the 45.
Just what I run.
I highly advise being able to see the iron sights in low light then use a razor 1-10 to really reach out. Just my 2 cents enjoy the 45-70, welcome to the lever club.
Rpp trigger is a good upgrade for it massive difference
Gonna agree!
@@RangerPointPrecision 😉
Waar jy gekry Piet.Soek so 30-30. Waar kan ek soek? Dankie
Great to see you at Huntex, send it 1000 yards!
Scoped for 1000 yards will be interesting. I wonder if they make a 100 moa rail?
Looking forward to see the Marlin decked out with Ranger Precision stuff 😊
In regards to shooting a lion and putting up on UA-cam: In short, don't do it.
You will probably end up getting in a shitstorm and it might end up damaging your channel and business... I'm from Denmark, and the Danes that have put up trophies like lions and elephants on social media have regretted it deeply... The world is full of people who don't understand the nature of hunting and the logic behind shooting a lion that is past its prime, but those people have a big voice and may and up targeting you as their next scapegoat.
Otherwise, great video! Love your stuff, and you are a great inspiration for my newly found hobby in PRS 😄
Agreed. Unfortunately people don’t understand hunting and they will ruin your life for a lion hunt. The buffalo hunt is fine tho
Silencer and 1to10
Hey Piet facial hair looking good !! Congratulations on the new gun
Can you please explain in more detail why you would hunt a lion? I love hunting, I hunt what I can eat without wasting any exess, thus I only hunt antelope, and I varmint if some animal is becoming a pest, but I haven't heard of people eating lion? What happens to lion meat when they are hunted? Or is it only for the trophy or just to tick that box, an ego thing, or am I missing something? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Most people who hunt lion only keep the trophy but usually the outfitters help with that and export the meat to places like Zambia where they are sold and eaten by many people
That’s a sexy piece of kit.
I bought a marlin 45-70 earlier this week, going out to shoot it tomorrow idk if my shoulder is ready for it lol. And the Lion hunt soinds pretty cool ngl especially if its something you never usually have the opportunity to do. Wether you should record and post it or not idk, but I dont think you should miss out on the oppurtunity to go on the hunt out of fear of what others shall say, as long as you're following the law and being safe I think its something to defintly conider doing even if its not going to go on youtube.
Hi piet!
I also just got my marlin lever action in 45.70. I would love to chat to you about organizing a box of after market goodies to modify like you have on your video?
Thanks
We wanna see a lion hunt
1-10 razor would look so cool👊🏼
How did you have your rifle at home if your license hadn’t been approved yet? Safe permit ?
Red Dot sight 💥🙏🏻
My honest opinion, as a South African, I think there's a lot of bad press around hunting lions - consider the whole canned hunting debacle unfolding. From my perspective, I wouldn't do it and I don't think I'd watch it personally.
Not to say I'd boycott you if you did, but I can think back to a few international people hunting lions here and the backlash they had. I don't think it's worth the negative press you could get, especially since your audience extends past our shores.
I went with a 4X24 Prism on mine
You should import a 8.6 blackout that would be sick
Did it say on the website you can hunt T. rex with it?
Have a look at chisel machining stock
Hunt the lion piet it wil be awesome
Animado para ver a arma com as roupas novas da ranger point!!!
I know 'tactical' lever guns are all the rage, but personally, the marlin 1895 with grey laminate stock is one of the sexiest rifles, hands down, period.
Scout scope !!
Hey Piet, love your videos, hunting and very excited when you post a competition/ match video,Top notch! Absolutely zero interest in a lion hunt video unless it’s attacking your village. Buffalo hunt sure, lion hunt no!
Thanks for what you do!
Don't go with Hornady 350 gr in 45-70. You may be dissapointed because of terminal performance. As far as I know Hornady .458 350 gr is reserved for faster cartriges like .458 Win Mag, or .458 Lott. Get Horandy .458 300 gr (HP). I believe their Index is "4500".
Wie verkoop daai 45-70's in SA? Hulle is baie skaars.
En waar koop mens die upgrades?
Regardless of going on a lion hunt or not, please make a video or two detailing modern 'trophy' hunting... its ridiculous that people think its still like an early 20th century trophy hunt... modern 'trophy' hunting is conservation...
Was awesome om jou by Huntex tesien 🎉🎉🎉
Lekker Piet
P you do know that is the famous dinosaur gun the guy is running around with on Jurassic World hey..
Tata to your shoulder 😂
Jou lucky bliksem. Kwit daai is my droom roer. Jy moet bosvark of bosbok vir 1ste bloed trek. Geluk en geniet die ruwe roer. Dink n red dot is die roete om te gaan.
I would vote against the lion hunt, your reservations are correct.
Nice 👍, every firearms owner should own at least one good lever action rifle 😀.
Buffalo-Yes
Lion-No
Buffalo yes Lion definitely not, keep up the good work.
No to the lion hunt - thats just sad.
"The only government you can trust." Ek like dit. Ek gaan dit gebruik.
With your potential lion hunt, does it support conservation, remove a problem or aged animal or just to say you shot a lion. I feel the story of conservation improvements that can be made by taking special animals like a lion is not well understood. I’m not sure what the background of this lion is but as an example, one old animal paid to be shot could contribute to raising three little cubs to be released. Would be interesting to know a little more about it
Red Dot...fa show
Gan skiet die buffel Piet, you wont…👀
Dit is n MOOi GEWEER
Don't shoot a Lion. Buffalo sure, but there is something majestic about Lions.
I have to agree with you.
If u r hunting to put food on the table that's a yes .
If u r hunting to control a pest problem that's a yes .
If u r Trophy hunting then that in my eyes is just as bad as a Serial killer .
Providing meat for ur family is good but killing for no reason is bad!
Yes to the bush gun. NO TO 1000 & DEFINITELY NO ON THE LION HUNT!!!
an air gun Super 👍😎
Do the hornady lever revelution ammo.
the 45-70 will get out to 1000.........eventually.
I’d say use a 1-6 with an illuminated reticle up top.
Lots of people saying not to hunt lions. I’d say do what you please, but yeah leave that off UA-cam if you do it. It’d get you targeted without a doubt.
Also, I know you’ll upgrade the parts on it, but you should hunt using both kits because they’re two different experiences
My .45-70 Marlin Guide Gun shoots about 1.5 to 3" groups at 100 yards and a low power scope. I love Alliant Reloader7 powder for the .45-70 and you can load it from trap door level loads at 1600 fps to my load level which is a top end level power 2200 fps. My go to is the 350 gr. RNFP from Hornady and it keeps the velocity up so it gives a bit of extra flatness. If you start with 47 gr. of Reloader7 and the 350 it's my hunting load. If you want to plink you can use about 34 gr. Reloader7. 8) The .45-70 held the longest range shot for many decades if you look it up. In a sharps people have been shooting them easily to 700 yards and I've seen a few go to 1000 on buffalo size targets.
Good to see another 45-70 connoisseur
I actually had the Henry not the marlin my bad
What about the Vortex strike eagle 1-8 First vocal ? Regarding the potential Lion hunt if you dont feel comfortable to share it on the internet then dont. rather keep that video for in house. Rather have a story and not get dragged for it by uneducated people. Either way have fun Piet enjoy be safe.
Full send on both hunts. You’re a responsible gun owner, going through proper licensing and you’re ethical with your shot placement. The risk is there, but thats how it should be. It’s a once in a lifetime hunt and I’d very much like to see it.
