Now that Ohio is able to hunt deer with straight-walled "pistol" ammunition in a long gun, I'm looking for a high-quality lever gun in .44 or .45. 20 years ago, I would have picked up a Marlin without a second thought. But now, the Internet tells me they're garbage. Has there been any improvement? If you were to go to the LGS and choose between the Marlin and the Henry, which would you choose? I love my 1990s Marlin .30-30 and my preference lies there, but I won't buy junk. What say you actual owners?
Another option is an additional $600-$800 for a Winchester current production.
