That rifle looked very cool. Made his victims blow back five feet with each hit.

Not often you can go to a liberal sensitive Native American sad story movie about Native American women disappearing on the reservation in modern America, and get to see some awesome gun play where you shout out “ oh yeah” and embarrass your liberal friends who took you.

It's a Marlin 1895 SBL .45-70 Stainless Steel .

And since I don't care for semi-autos, which is easier to use, more reliable, and more easily maintainable, a straight pull bolt action, a lever-action, or a pump-action?

Thanks for any recommendations,

A good choice might be a pump which doesn't require any right arm effort, since the slide is operated with the left hand for right handed shooters. The choice for center fire pump action rifles is somewhat limited, though, with the Remington 760/7600 series rifles probably being the most obvious choice for availability. The 760 production ended in 1981 and the 7600 which took its place ended I assume when Remington went bankrupt. In any case neither are available new any longer, but are commonly for sale. There are also some vintage pump/ slide actions available, ie Rem 14 and 141. For newly made Henry currently has pump action rifles available. The Remingtons, though offer a much wider choice of calibers from which to choose. Those are the only ones I am familiar with, but someone may know of others. A lever gun may be a good choice as well, again caliber choices are more limited. I suggest going to a good gun store with used firearms or a gun show and try the different actions.
