Has Marlin ever made their 1894 in 30-30?
When I was growing up I had a 1894 in .357 and killed 5 deer with it, then my dad traded it for a .270 that I still have. The .270 is a great long distance rifle for me but I like to hunt deeper in the woods and in thick brush where the smaller lighter gun would be handy. I started looking around for a 1894 in 44 cal but I realised that the 30-30 cartridge is a far superior round. Then I found that I couldn't find a 1894 30-30.... What gives?....
I would like to have the 30-30 cartridge but I am not willing to compromise on the marlin 1894 style rifle. If I can't find it in 30-30 I guess I'll just be getting the .44.
