Kentucky Rifle
Member In Memoriam
Took the 1894 out again yesterday. I've gotta say it. This is ONE rifle that is just getting better & better.
When I first got it, I thought that it should be a little "smoother". However, after I've had it out a few times, it's smoothed out and is truly smooth as glass. When I got home, I field stripped and cleaned in less than 15 minutes. AND, it wouldn't even have taken 15 minutes if I hadn't stopped to admire this & that. Several years ago, I went shooting with a guy who turned to me and said, "Marlins are the best"! He was right. I've kinda settled on the Gold Dot 170gr "GDSP" as the .357 I like the best. Although to the Marlin, ANY load (that I've tried) is just fine.
