I currently own a Marlin 30-30, model 30as,which I bought used for around 230.00(probably paid too much)It is the first rifle Iv'e owned in twentyfive years. Since then Iv'e bought many more including what may be my favorite, a Ruger GP100-ss,4 in. barrel. I am considering trading the 30-30 for a companion piece to the GP100 possibly the Marlin 1894c, a lever action carbine chambered for .357 mag. and .38spcl. Since I love to shoot ,I find the cost per round to be a huge factor(.15 cents/round vs..60 cents/round).I should mention that I am not a hunter but I certainly would if I had to.Can the 1894c compare to the 30as for shooting enjoyment ?How do they compare in accuracey at distances up to 100 yards?Also, who else produces rifles chambered for .357 cartridges? The one thing I don't want to do is regret getting rid of a perfectly functional, accurate Marlin model 30as.Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated.
