Marlin's '92 is a rimfire, currently called the Model 39A.... But, ballistically, there are loads of Marlin 336 that offer what you are looking for - they chamber it in 35 Remington ;-) No help for Ohio hunters, but the 35 Rem is a great woods cartridge and only about 150 fps or so faster than the Max with 180s.
Cool. This is good to hear. If a foreign South American company wants to drink Marlin's milkshake, so be it. Just so surprising Marlin refuses to make any 1894s in .357... every website has them available in .45 Colt and .44 Magnum, but not the tremendously popular and inexpensive .357 magnum?? They used to make them and were well thought of and there appears to be a demand for them... so odd.
The max is a great round... A bud bought a barrel for his encore from bellym T/C and its been a hammer on deer. I have a H&R topper in 357 max- bought a barrel for the contender that was supposedly reamed but it turned out its still stock. I want to ream 2 contenders and another handi rifle to the max... would LOVE either a lever or even a bolt gun in itI just got a contender pistol barrel in 357 max. What a fine little cartridge. I asked them to chamber it with a .250" throat so I can seat bullet out a bit and gain case capacity. I am collecting parts for a contender carbine to give to my daughter when she is older. I was going to do a 30-30 ackley but now I am thinking about doing a 357 max 22" barrel.
I tried the scope mount rail (they're hard to find) but a scope took away from the fun & simple factor so I removed it.
My wife an my Mom both love it because it's like a 22 with 38s.
