What for? I am a pretty big fan of lever guns. I love the Marlins for a tough big bore. The lever revolution soft points really add range to lever guns.

It's the Winchester's Model 94 Trails End Takedown, i tried shooting one in 450 Marlin two weeks ago and i had a blast, but i think i will go with the 30.30, i don't want to blow the deers to pieces.

I have two 94s... hard to beat a classic

 

[-BEEF-]

that's a great lookin rifle I may have to consider that. I think im gonna go for .45 LC

Absolutely. I have one, my brother has one and my father has one. Gifts from the old man one year for Christmas. All in .30-.30. Great brush deer guns and just fun to shoot.

Oh, and if you want the smoothest lever ever made get a Winchester Model 92 or one of the clones and have it slicked up.
Just doesn't get any better.

Good on ya Beef!!! Levers have been one of my favorite type for all of my years. If your hunting I agree with what was said about the Pre-Remington, Marlin 336, or the Pre-Japan Winchester 1894. I prefer the top eject over the angle eject but that one of those prefs. BUT BUT BUT, if your looking a lever to just shoot and enjoy along with the .45 type revolvers than a.45 in a Uberti or Cimarron. Got a couple friends that are into SASS shooting and love them.

Oh yea, what MULDER said:thumbupude if you want a Bang stick get the .500

Marlin 30-30 is awesome.

im lookin for something traditional I think. and I know I want it in .45

I have a newer marlin 1894c in .357/.38 special, to match my revolver, I put some peep sights and a big loop lever on it. So far about 300 rounds through it, not a single problem

Only pic I have uploaded at the moment.

And the revolver. Been thinking about a single action though

Any time I think of lever action rifles, I think of that old western show "The Rifleman" with Chuck Connors. Mainly the intro scene of him popping off rounds. Am I the only one?

I received word that my Marlin 1895 .45-.70 arrived, but was damaged in shipment..

 

[zthunderstick]

I have Winchesters, Marlins, and Henrys. The best shooting and handling rifles are my pre-Japan Winchester 94 in 45LC and my pre-64 Winchester 94 in 30-30. The smoothest actions are by far the Henrys. But you can't beat the power and pleasure of shooting a marlin gbl in 45-70. If you want a lever gun in 45LC, I would definitely go with the Winchester 94. Ubertis and Cimarrons are nice shooting rifles after they have had an expensive visit to a good gunsmith.

My Marlin Guide Gun 45 70 is one of my favorite rifles. It'll take down anything in North America. But that being said, I'm still a big fan of the 30 30 lever action. Had a Marlin 30 30 at one time and it was just plain fun to shoot. Great deer rifle ta boot.

 

[Havoc550]

I have a Marlin .444

You get the cowboy feel in a modern cannon caliber. Its almost $2 a shot, but follow up shots are not really necessary.

Winchester Big Bore 94 in 375 Winchester. Easy shooting gun with good deer slayin power.
