Thanks for you'r help guys. That's a bit too much for me Martyn. I think I have found a new one for 1100 but I have to wait a few weeks.
Hi, I was in a similar position a while back and ended up picking up a .444 Marlin brand new from the Gunshop in Rugby for about £500 - absolute bargain. Might be worth considering a .444 as it can do pretty much all a .45-70 can. I still hanker after the .45-70 though!
I bought my Marlin 1895 45-70 10 years ago for £385 brand new!
Superb rifle. With a 300gn SP, and a good bit of experimentation, you can get it deer legal in England and it makes a fantastic rifle for in close woodland
It may be bl££dy noisy, but everything you point it at is found at the point it was struck

Hmm wonder if you can get a .45 cal moderator!?
You philistine, that’s a bit like putting a roof rack on a Ferrari. I would have said Rolls Royce but I’ve actually seen that done and you can't really compare a Marlin to a Rolls Royce can you.
