Lever Monday...post em up

[Chama Grande]

How about a Marlin 1894 (either new or old) in .38-40 or .44-40? Way cooler than the Henry, imho.

I do like those Marlins. Aren't they doing the re-release of the 1894 this summer? I am curious to see how those roll off the line.

For caliber, I was looking more on the relatively low cost and readily available side of things, and .357 seemed to fit the bill.

Man these do look awesome

I've always wanted a Winchester 94 in 30-30. One of these days. Had a Marlin 30-30 when I was a kid but sold it many years ago and regret that decision.

I forgot one it was in the back of the safe. Model 94 Marlin 25-20 it used to have a saddle ring. My brother killed a couple of deer with it in the early 70s. My dad inherited it from his uncle before I was born.

Henry Golden Boy .22lr, I got it at Cabela’s about 13 years ago when they were having a big gun sale at their store at Hamburg, Pennsylvania. It was $240.00 on sale. You’ll never see a new one for that price anymore. This was before the brass barrel band. I take it for a walk once in a while.

I sure hope they do a good 1894 next. .357Mag is my favorite pick for one too.

You win.

What are those Whitney's chambered in? And the Burgess?

They're dropping 44mag first for some reason.

The first is a Whitney Kennedy SRC in 44-40, then a SRC 45-60, then a rare experimental model Whitney Kennedy with double set trigger in 45-60 and a Whitney Kennedy rifle in 44-40

Here’s a scarce Marlin on the bottom, a model 1888 in 38-40, shown with a model 1894 in 38-40. The Marlin 1888 is a top eject, they made very few of them…

 

[Boarmaster]

Marlin .444 with VX3 1.5-5x20 mounted in Talley LWs.

 

[shrapnel]

This is a Winchester 1876 in 50 express, just right for gophers and rabbits…

Can @shrapnel please start a thread and post all of his guns so I know which ones I need to try to buy off of him if he ever has a weak moment?

I'm almost afraid to ask how much..

I think that would win with those who are going to hunt with it obviously, but for just recreational use and all around affordability, a lever gun that runs well with .38spl/.357mag is still my choice. It’ll happen, we’ll just have to wait for it I guess.

 

[BackofBeyond]

I’ve always wanted a pistol/rifle matched set. Might just be time to make that happen.

 

[elkduds]

Mine was set up similary,

Marlin .444 with VX3 1.5-5x20 mounted in Talley LWs. View attachment 274489View attachment 274490View attachment 274491

Nice setup, a lot like my old one: hammer spur, low magnification scope. Mine had see through mounts and preceded the crossbolt safety.

That's my Holy Grail right there. XLR with extended Mag tube, big loop lever. Slicked up like hot butter. Put a VX-6HD 1-6x24 on it and BooYah!
