I've fooled around with the 45/70, the 450 Marlin, and the 444 marlin, and I would stand up to a grizz with any of them, close up! I do like the Big Loop lever in the 45/70, and 450 marlin when shooting defense rounds or hot handloads. The reg loop in the GG smashes my dam fingers!! I was using 350gr A frames in my 450 marlin for hunting, but really liked the 400 Barnes Busters, which I tried out. They penetrated about 6" more than the a frames in the Douglas fir block tests I tried! They did not expand at all though, and I went with the a frames! moosin
