I handled both versions of the Marlin 1894 in .357 mag today and I am thinking that I have to get one of them. I know that the .357 will kill a deer, especially since almost every shot I have ever seen at one has been at less than 75 yards.
The rifle will see most of its use as a plinker but will also be used as a light duty HD gun.
I was thinking that you could maybe even hunt small game with it if you used 38 specials.
Has anyone ever used a rifle like this to hunt small game?
They used to use .36 caliber rifles to hunt small game, right?
Why wouldn't a .357/38 work now?
