I am in a quandary. I have a Rossi 44maag. Since I added a recoil pad the gun is somewhat more gentle to shoot. The curved steel butt plate may have been historically correct but it was really quite hurtful to shoot. Adding a scope to the '92 is not easy and today I have to admit fixed open sights and my eyes are not going to get along anymore. The carbine will soon go down the road.
I really want a new Marlin with Ballard rifling. I own a RemLin in .357mag which I love. Whatever you have heard there os nothing wrong with the RemLim version of the Marlin lever gun if my .357 is a representative of what they put out. It has Ballard rifling and with a Red Dot on it shoots as well as I can hold.
What are the issues, if any, with the Marlin and/or RemLin 44 mag lever guns? There are a couple of versions I am considering. The stainless with the large loop lever and the more conservative blued gun with an 18" barrel. I intend to purchase two molds for the gun after I have the bore slugged.
