Here is a better picture of my 39A and it's a 1975 model. I think I mistakenly posted it was a 1974 model and the first pics was very dark and didn't show off the wood.

I have a 444 Marlin and I like the gun a lot. I shot a buck this year using a handload of 270 gr Speer Gold Dots. The gun is a 444SS. My brother has a 450 Marlin 1895M XLR. It's also a nice gun and with 350 gr bullets has no more recoil than the 444. However it will handle much heavier...

I have had the Uncle Mikes barrel band swivel on my 760 since I bought it new in 1976. I imagine if I took the band off the bluing would definitely be marred under it. But I don't intend to remove it. As far as accuracy, it never affected it. The gun is not as accurate as my Ruger M77, but...

I think Dick Cheney bought them all up before he left office. Seriously, I spent the day Wednesday looking for small pistol or small rifle primers to use in my Marlin 1894C 357 mag. I went to 6 shops from Gander Mountain to small gun shops in PA & WV and I found NONE. I have some small...

I've eaten everything on your list. It all basically tastes like chicken! :)

I agree with all the people saying get multiple calibers. I'm a Marlin fan. I have a 39A, 2 - 336's, 2- Glenfield 30A's (the birch stocked version of the 336), a 444SS, and an 1894C. Of all of those my favorites are the 39A and 1894C. They get shot most. My next purchases are going to be...

I have always been extremely nearsighted. I started wearing glasses in the first grade when the teachers figured out I couldn't see the board from any further away than the first row. My father, on the other hand, always had perfect vision. When I started hunting and shooting, I used iron...

Marlin 1894C in 357 magnum.

Get the 308 Marlin Express. You'll really like the lever gun and the 308 ME is a real 300 yard cartridge and it comes on a gun with open sights.

Good luck finding anything anywhere. I was at a gun show and a guy had several pounds of H-4895 he was selling for $16. I didn't buy it and now I'm kicking myself!!

You have to get the Marlin 1894C to go with your 357 revolver. Here's my combo. Just make sure you reload, or have a rich uncle, because you'll burn a lot of ammo.

I'm wondering what weight bullet you are loading and what gun you are loading for? I know in my Marlin the overall length is 2.57" So if you are using a heavier bullet you have to seat it that deep. If you can't crimp in the crimping grove, then you need a Lee Factory Crimp Die. I use that...

My trophies have been: First deer I shot with a rifle - doe First buck I shot with a rifle - 6 pt. First deer I shot with a bow - doe First buck I shot with a bow - spike First deer I shot with a muzzleloader - doe Biggest racked buck I have shot - 9 pt. Anymore I hunt for the...

I have had a Lyman for many years, and when I did have a problem with it, Lyman sent me a brand new one for free!! I'm quite pleased with it.

Nice bucks, you see nothing like that around here. But that feeder, or whatever it is, is quite illegal around here, and would cost you fine, jail time and loss of hunting license probably for life.
