I love my Marlins. But they are now made by a holding company, not by Marlin. Marlin sold their company to Cerberas Capital Management and they closed the New Haven plant.
Yes, and we ran a genocidal campaign against the plains indians. I reckon we can all hold grudges as long as we like.Never forget
Again, I'm sorry but you're both wrong. You may prefer the Marlin and that is fine but quality, fit and finish are all quantifiable and the Winchester is superior to a Marlin in every way. Bear in mind, we are talking about the new Miroku-made 94's, not the previous domestic 94's.I am sorry the Marlins are a better rifle with a lower cost...
I own one of each, and I agree with this.
What you do with it is strictly personal preference. It is undeniable fact that the Miroku-made leverguns are better guns than contemporary Marlins.
Your "undeniable" fact is your OPINION.
No, it is my opinion that the Winchester 1894 is a better feeling rifle that balances and carries better. It is my opinion that the .30-30 cartridge will do 99% of what most shooters require. It is my opinion that scopes don't belong on leverguns.Your "undeniable" fact is your OPINION.
Ever look at one? Worlds apart from the piles upon piles of old 94's adorning used gun racks in every pawn shop of America.$1200 for a 94?

That's MSRP anyway, surely street price will be less than $1000.

It is undeniable fact that the Miroku guns are higher quality rifles than comparable Marlins, exhibiting much better fit and finish.
