So what are thoughts on which 45-70 lever action to get? I used to have a Marlin guide gun in 450 marlin but it shot off center, and I wasn't a huge fan of the action it seemed like it caught half way through. So I sold it full disclosure a few years ago. But now I want a 45/70. One that can handle modern loads. I recently procured a Winchester 92 44 mag and am pretty disgusted with the action and trigger/rebounding hammer. Would I hate a Winchester 1886? I read they have the same rebounding hammer and tang safety garbage as the 92. I am also considering a used Browning, and looking at the Turnbull finished marlin 1895. It says they get rid of the safety block, I am wondering how much that affects the action? Also considering a Henry. I don't care about a side loading gate. So value for the money? What would I be happiest with? What's going to be higher In Quality/accuracy? Anything else I should consider?
