Well, I now not only own more lever actions then anything else, but I now own more Marlin Lever actions then everything else I own put together. I’ve always had a weak spot for levers.
This JM stamped Marlin 94 44 magnum followed me home tonight. It was built in 2007, so one of the last real Marlins. Ballard cut rifling, but it does have a cheap birch stock without checkering. I have $600 for it and am happy with that.
I actually recently traded off my last Marlin 44 mag. The last one was brand new a year ago and just never met my expectations for accuracy. I could out shoot it most days with my model 29 at any range. I’m hoping this one will be better.
