John GaltThinking I WTB a .44 Mag lever gun
I'm thinking this just may be the ticket to compliment my .44 Mag revolver. I would possibly also consider a .45 Colt (have a .454 Casull as well). Only looking for a Marlin or a Winchester and kicking the tires at this point. What do you have?
Thanks,
John

jimatcatI passed up a marlin lever gun at a local gun show this weekend for $450.... I traded mine off in 1992, because I needed a revolver to go to the SPAG academy... I've missed it ever since... if you find 1, go for it... you won't regret it!!

ssdaveGood Idea. I felt that way once, the easiest way to get over it is to buy one. I did and I did. Feel better now!
I had a Legacy Winchester in 45 colt. Nice rifle, pathetic cartridge for a rifle.

Swordfish45 Colt is a great cal for a rifle. If you are addicted to scopes, bolt guns, or shots outside of 200 yds, it's not for you. If you like to get close, hunt deer and hogs you will love it.
I have several Marlins in 45 Colt and hunt them often for deer and hog in FL. & GA.
It's not for hunting in Africa.
I also have them in 44 Mag and like that cal. just the same.
Yes, I have plenty of bolt rifles also, don't find much sport in them inside of 200 yds. I choose my rifle & cal for the hunt.

Greg KI found a Ruger Model 96 a few years back and it's a fun gun to shoot.

CrazyhorseconsultingI carry and use an 1894 Marlin in .44 Rem. Mag. on a daily basis and have done so for the past 7 years. It is a great gun. Best bet is to look around and find whatever works best for you.
Even the rocks don't last forever.

buckeyeshooterIn 44 mag. I would suggest looking at a Marlin 1894 (pre- Remington manufacture)and the Winchester 92 currently available. There were 94's chambered in 44 mag and many had feeding problems because of the short length of the handgun rounds. Be aware the new Winchester 92's are lawyered up with tang safety and rebounding hammer.
The 'new' currently manufactured Marlins by Remington have many problems and it is difficult to find a good one.
Someone mentioned the Browning 92 and it is a great rifle. Best of the bunch.

arkypeteMorning Gents;
I've found the Rossie in 45 Colt, with my hand loads to be an excellent rifle. I lapped the barrel, found that 300 grain Saeco gas checked bullets sized to .454, 20 grains of H110 was the ticket.
Enjoy which ever one you get.
