Neither. I ain't choosin'. I'm keeping them both.

My '86 in 45-90 and my 1936 348 are the only two guns I own that have names.

Thunder and Lightning.

Well, my wife has packed a 357 Marlin for 32 seasons now and I'm pretty sure none of the deer and other game she's taken in that time laughed or even giggled at her :lol: :lol: She's taken every deer she's shot with that little rifle and see's no reason for anything else. 17.1grs of 296 and a 158gr ...

Nope, no trappers. Had one once, didn't care for it. Just to........short

I like a 'rifle'. 24' or 26" best.

I did miss out on a 1894P over the weekend that a friend had for sale. Oh well, Prob'ly wouldn't have liked it either.........

My Father was in Korea. He never talks about it but from how it was explained to me, he was in the worst of the worst, fighting against the Chinese.

. . . I never thought about Unique. Do you use a filler with Unique?? Tom. Tom: Never used a filler, never had erratic ignition. Always used a standard LR primer, generally either Winchester or Federal. I couldn't agree more. I don't use a filler with 11grs of Unique and a 300gr cast. Same results,...

I am really impressed with the 348 Winchester. I have been studying ballistics and it looks like it shoots mighty flat out to 225 yards with a 180 yard zero and should work great for deer, hogs, coyotes, feral dogs etc. Sounds like a beauty! Do we get to see a photo? Last summer I took mine out wit...

I absolutely LOVE my '36 Winchester 71

A thing of beauty, a true work of art.

I like jacketed 250's and 58grs of AA3100.

It also shoots very well with an RCBS 200gr (209grs) and 60grs of AA3100.

I shot a buck a few weeks ago with a Marlin Levergun in .44 mag. But I used a .44 special case, 7 1/2grs of Unique and a 255gr SWC. I fed them into my gun from my gunbelt as I walked out the back door and into the woods. Same load as I use in my Ruger 44 specials. 1 shot, dead in his tracks. :D 2x22

I've shot quite a few deer and a couple elk with this bullet, also lots of grouse and coyotes. Can't say enough good about it. A REALLY good killer and usually stayed under 1 1/2" at 100 yards.

Right after we were married in 1978 I bought my wife a Marlin in .357. It has been the only rifle she shoots, she doesn't think she should mess with success :wink: When my daughter was old enough to ask for her own rifle, she wanted an OLD one. So I purchased a '94 Winchester made in 1906 in 30-30 t...

I love my Lipsey Specials! 7 1/2grs of Unique and any of the 245 to 260gr SWC's will kill deer every time.

I cannot tell you the number of times I have put my money back into my pocket after being 'subjected' to a sellers attitude.

Another vote toward the 311041 for an overall shooting, whether hunting or plinking. If you don't want to use a GC, use a PB instead. Don't try to shoot a GC model without a gascheck.
