Picked up a new rifle...

[John E]

got my Marlin 1894c out of bondage at the local gun shop earlier today. Sweet gun, barely used and priced about $200 less than a very hard to come by brand new model. They included a nice sling and a case to take it home in.

Picking up some ammunition tomorrow and it's off to the range next week.

For those not up on their Marlinology it's a lever action carbine chambered for .357 magnum or .38 special ammunition.

I just sold mine I wish I would have kept it. They are a very fun gun to shoot.

I was just now cruising gunbroker, looking around for one. It'll be my next purchase. I hope to find a 16" 1894CP if I can, but the regular 18" barrel would be fine too. I bought a Ruger SP101 last week and I want a little lever in 357 to match.

Let us know how you like it.

I like lever guns too. Do you shoot Cowboy Action? Reload? Lots of fun. Check out http://www.sassnet.com/.

Pistol cartridges are a requirement for single action shooting and my pistol-cartridge lever gun in .38/.357 is a Henry Big Boy (but I like longer barrels). Marlin is my favorite brand.

I love lever guns, congrats on the score.

I am currently working on my 50 state Marlin 1895 Guide Gun, a gun that is essentially legal in all states. Do some slight mod work to it, including new sights and a larger lever.

Just picked up a guide gun last month I was hoping to use it for my Elk but ened up shooting it with my 7mag. Anybody running a "scout" type scope set up on a lever gun?
