Well after playing with quite a few rifles the last few days, I think the winner is the big-bore Marlin. I just put a couple pistols on the block down at CCA, and whenever one or both sells they'll order me a stainless 1895GS.
I'm leaning straight-wristed, and will eventually install a somewhat larger (but not huge) loop for gloves and suchlike, a large aperature at the rear, and possibly a scout mount. I'll also likely slim down the wood for and aft to Winchester proportions, and install a big ol' recoil pad.
Though.. ported or not ported? Anyone have experience with both types and care to share their wisdom?
