I’ve got a lever action Henry 357 that my dad gave me as a birthday gift two years ago. I really enjoy it and intend to keep it in really nice shape, primarily using it for plinking and target practice.
But it really sparked a love for lever actions and I’m thinking I’d like to pick up a bush beater rifle in a cartridge with more thump.
So I’m thinking a stainless Marlin, in either 44 magnum or maybe 45-70.
If you were going to pick one or the other, which and why? Other brands are welcome.
I would pick up the needed gear to load my own ammo so cost of AmmoSeek is less of a concern to me than for some folks.
Possible uses is a camping gun in grizz land, and maybe deer hunting at some point. Though camping is more the likely.
