I want a lever action rifle.

Well, it’s damn near long as the rifle. That’s what bothers me.😁

What I hate is the fact that 35 Remington ammunition and brass have seemingly gone the way of the Do Do bird. There are millions of rifles out there so chambered, and in my mind, it is a fabulous whitetail and black bear cartridge.

Ok @gregintenn does this look better? I had a BugBuster scope from an AR build so I thought I would see if it fit. The K6 glass was just not that good anymore.  I might also just go with a peep sight.

I think so. I am partial to the Williams Foolproof receiver sights for the Marlin levers too.

What do you think? Like it better with a smaller scope?

I have a Marlin branded 3-6 on my 30-30. the magnification ring doesn't work, the outer ring moves but the mag doesn't change. Does anyone here know how to fix scopes? I want to keep the "matching" scope on this. (since we're discussing scopes on lever rifles) LOL

Here are all of them together.

Snaveba, have you seen this Frankensteined blasphemy in the wild yet? Lever-action, 9mm, mag-fed, fluted barreled, muzzle braked, hot mess. It has more identity issues than a Gen Z-er in a trans crisis worshipping social media while dressing for the next “mostly peaceful” protest.  The manufacturer (POF-USA) even wants 2k for this abomination.

So I am looking at a couple Marlins. A 444 Marlin and 44mag. I have the Rossi in 44mag, but I could move it if I got the Marlin in 44mag. The 444 Marlin is a heck of a round, but do I want another caliber?

I absolutely love my 336 in 44 mag.  You can not go wrong with either but get the 44 mag. 😂

I’m still watching on a couple Marlins in 44mag and 444 Marlin. I was out bid on a 336A-DL. I should have bid more except it had a right handed Monte Carlo stock and I am a lefty. I did pick another 336RC from 67 for a pretty good price (I thought I would be out bid). Photos to come when it gets to me.

Wish I'd kept the 336 I got from my b-i-l. Bought it on a whim when he needed some cash. Had been worked over pretty well witha new bead sight, barrel shortened to minimum, and large loop. It looked really sharp! Alas, he wanted it back afterwards. Wife got in the middle and said it's not worth a fuss. So it went back to Tad.

Do we need an intervention? You seem to have an addiction, my friend! 😆 

Beautiful set of lever actions! 🙂

Since my last post I picked up

and I am still waiting on the 1976 Marlin 1894 in 44mag. I’m not considering it “mine” until I hold it (61 days and counting)

I've been meaning to take a picture of mine for a long time. Just never got around to it. This thread has prompted me to get off my butt, dig 'em out of the safe and do just that. 😉

Browning 1886 SRC .45-70

Winchester 94 .30-30

Different mechanics internally. But based on what you are doing a 73 can be better than a 94.

The 1873 and later 1892 were designed to fire handgun length cartridges. The 1894 was designed for rifle cartridges. The 73 was originally offered in .44-40. Where as the 94 was originally  offered in .30-30. 

However, today Winchester does offer the Model 94 in .357, .44 Magnum and .45 Colt. Most lever fans consider the Model 92 better for these rounds as it cycles smoother and is a bit smaller and lighter. 

BTW: Safeties on these rifles is a fairly recent addition. Most lever lovers consider them an abomination. 🤬
