I have an old Model 94 in 44Mag, and it's probably my favorite non-AR rifle. That Marlin looks nice.

I have one that's about 30 years old, works great. Not compact though.

I don't know what's wrong with me because that is an excellent deal. I just can't get past the looks of that lever design. I grew up watching old black and white reruns of westerns and that made me fall in love with the Winchester designs.
I know it's dumb but aesthetics is everything to me. I can't be the only one. I even changed out the lever on my ranch hand because the large loop doesn't look close enough to the design on "Wanted Dead or Alive" with Steve McQueen. |

our lever guns get field use year round on ATV's and shot more than any other long guns we have.

View Quote That being said, back in the day, the "pistol grip" stock option was considered an upgrade and wasn't cheap. Look in any old catalogs in the early 1900s and you'll see Winchester charging extra for that option.

Reminds me that I need an 1894C to wrap up my lever gun set, but no one seems to ever have one since they were (supposedly) reintroduced last year.

I recently picked up a Mossberg 464 in marinecoat with 16.25" barrel. It is a handy little carbine, and will be more so once I chop the stock a bit. $430 , not too shabby.

20in barrel only for me, and preferably a Winchester.
Balances better for me and I get the higher velocity. |
|
I picked up a JM 336CS like new for $400.00 ,there are still deals to be found on JM's.
The rifle without the scope is the 336CS. Attached File |

How much difference in 30-30 performance out of 16" instead of 20" barrel?
I'm guessing inside 100 yards it makes little if any difference? |
|
I would buy an older one with a straight stock. That is on my "buy it if you see it" list. JM stamp only.
My current knock around truck gun is a Winchester 94, which I wish were shorter. |

I guess if you prefer lever guns for some reason.
Otherwise, and for less money, you can get a same-overall-length bolt gun in a better caliber (.308), integral Picatinny rail, and with muzzle already threaded. |

LOP? I was shooting a 16" 94 yesterday. It sucks off the bench getting it sighted in. Light and handy though. Great for deer season.

Take an 11.5" 6.5 Grendel with the 129gr ABLR (factory load BTW) and shoot it next to a 20" .30-30 with the 150gr Hornady RN:
11.5" 6.5 Grendel with a 129gr ABLR gives you: 100yds 2066fps 1223ft-lbs 200yds 1928fps 1065ft-lbs 300yds 1796fps 924ft-lbs 400yds 1671fps 800ft-lb 20" barreled .30-30 with a 150gr RN Hornady: 100yds 1879fps 1176ft-lbs 175yds 1599fps 852ft-lbs 200yds 1515fps 764ft-lbs An 11.5" 6.5 Grendel has more energy at 400yds shooting a lighter bullet, than a 20" .30-30 does at 200yds. This is one of the easiest ways to show the layman how effective BC is compared to a known cartridge that dates back to 1895, and has been used to harvest untold numbers of deer and even large game at close range. That said, I still think lever guns are fun and an important historical step in looking for an action that would handle repeating capability with metallic cartridges. |

That's super tempting
the 336y has always been somewhere on my list of "someday guns" |

I love Marlin's lever guns, I always have one in my SxS. Sometimes even in a case.
That one right there is a dandy rifle. I have a Winchester Trapper with short barrel, but wish it were a Marlin. Maybe it will be, hmmmm wonder if they come in SS. |

Isn't that the same as the "Youth" model? Or "Yute model" if you're a Fred Gwynne fan.
I bought a youth butt stock for my standard 336 due to LOP and using a scope. With my thick padded winter hunting clothes on, I just could not use the scope. Eye was too far from it. EDIT: Derp..336Y |

A trapper model 30-30 has been on my wishlist for a long time. It's the only lever action gun I'm interested in, something about the shorter barrel makes it look good. I've mostly been looking for winchester, might have to check our this Marlin to join the Marlin 39A I got from my grandfather.

It's really tempting but I have a 20" that carries and balances so well it's hard to imagine 16" would be much improvement?
