The Buffalo Hunter

Gary Reeder Custom Guns is proud to announce a new addition to our lineup of custom lever action hunting guns.  Four years ago we brought out out Alaska Classic, a 16-ince barrel, all-purpose hunting lever gun in 444.  Two years ago we brought it back in 45-70.  Now we've gone a step further with what we consider the ultimate in a lever action rifle, our new Buffalo Hunter.  This new beauty is chambered in our 475 GNR, a cartridge we introduced in 1988 as a Contender cartridge.  The 475 GNR was a 45-70 case full length, blown out straight to hold a 475 caliber bullet.  The exact origin of this cartridge is a bit fuzzy as apparently 2 or 3 people came up with it at about the same time.  Be that as it may, the 475 GNR is what we consider the ultimate in a lever gun.  Our 475 GNR dies are available from Redding Custom and is one of the easiest cartridges to load.  Our new Buffalo Hunter is built on the super strong Marlin 1895 with a new heavy 18-inch barrel and full length magazine tube that holds 5 rounds plus one in the chamber.  Our Buffalo Hunter utilizes the excellent Ashley rear peep site and gold or white bead in front.  Fully engraved, the Buffalo Hunter features a Cape Buffalo on one side and an American Bison on the other.  The owner's name can also be engraved and gold inlaid at no extra charge.  Smaller  metal parts are soft satin Black Chromex finished and the wood is also satin finish with a Pachmayr Decelerator pad for less recoil.  A full action job rounds out one of the nicest hunting rifles we've ever built, our new Buffalo Hunter.

The Buffalo Hunter is $1250 on your Marlin 1895.  16 to 18 week delivery in most cases.
