I would keep the marlin 444. Especially if it has the stock with the high cheekpiece.

I have both a japanese 30-40 and 30-06. Mine take 4 in the mag. But you can put anothervround invthe chamber for a total of 5. Ought ti be enough for mostvwork.

My 1894 marlin is 1984 year of manufacture. It feeds specials and magnums fine at normal levering speeds. I do use this rifle for cowboy action shooting. When I abuse it cowboy shooting, I only use 44 magnum cases. At warp speed, the specials do jam on occassion if they are not round nose or round n...

I have one with a 24xx serial number. Bought new by my grandfather, my father, brother, sister and myself learned to shoot with it. Still take it out from time to time. Still works great.

buckeyeshooter

In my case, I sent my rebounders to Turnbull and had the rebounder removed, the tang safety deleted and got a nice case color finish done. Not inexpensive, but you only live 1 time.

buckeyeshooter

I didn't choose the 500 when I went the custom route. I went with the 510 diameter and 50 alaskan in the marlin and 50-110 in an 1886 winchester. I guess I am a tradionalist and old school. I can tell you that the 50 caliber works well on game. I can tell an advantage over the 45/70.

buckeyeshooter

I have no idea why anyone who might have the rare remote possibility of getting attacked by a bear would chance their survival with a can of spray. I hear people say, "I'll just play dead" or "I'll climb a tree". Carry a heavy calibered gun and shoot the s-o-b. Worry about the l...

buckeyeshooter

It would be pretty hard to argue against the 30-30 if legal. The morons running the lawoffice in Ohio allow me to use my 50 alaskan and 50-110 winchester deer hunting but the 30-30 and 35 remington are illegal.

buckeyeshooter

Nothing wrong with this load or shooting. I would be pleased.

buckeyeshooter

I still stay with a revolver myself. If that is what you have been using, why reinvent the wheel?

buckeyeshooter

I have wanted a 22 hornet version for years. Probably need to bite the bullet and buy it now.

buckeyeshooter

As far as performance, my bet is you could exceed or equal it with the Barnes 150 grain x flat nose or for fun a 200 grain round nose for the 308 or 3006. Probably no expansion, but beaucoup penetration.

buckeyeshooter

Living overseas and needing to travel in the worlds worst traffic. I am riding a Honda Spacy.115cc motor, but it gets 118 mpg.

buckeyeshooter

I'll bite. It's not a Winchester or a Marlin. It's not made in America. It has an impossible to remove high gloss finish on the stocks. It is not user serviceable. It's not a Winchester or Marlin. The first generation magazines are $200+ and the current ones cost 35 bucks. I like mine. You forgot i...

buckeyeshooter

Feel pretty sorry for you if this is the case.

buckeyeshooter

How many magazines do you need to run through your gun to feel comfortable using that gun in that round to save your life? Does that need to be refreshed on any regular basis? Personally, I need to run a couple of mags of my carry ammo through my gun every month to feel comfortable. I practice with...

Been away for an 8-day business trip -- ugh... with Leverguns being blocked on all but one of the hotel computers (and it is blocked on my work PC too...) -- so I am finally back home, and have this one from the local gun club to share. Old No7 Which Newspaper Do You Read??? Experts have found the ...

buckeyeshooter

It is a 250 yard gun without a doubt. I am positive with better shooters than me, you could go 350.

buckeyeshooter

Never would have given up a revolver (especially a .44) for a Glock in any chambering. That said, I hope you enjoy it.

buckeyeshooter

I agree I should be able to use the sights with the scope removed but with a #95 rear base not even remotely close~ I guess I have to start removing. As for the front sight I guess I need like a .67" high....Good luck with that I guess........ Do you have a set of big bore bases? I remember th...

I guess I'm too "old school" and have lived in a mechanical world and don't believe I'll ever get out of it. I never did trust electronics of any kind, unless of course I'm forced to. If I have a choice, I always go for the mechanical variation. Even when I bought my last new Jeep, I was ...

I have used 10 grains of unique and a 200 grain xtp to take deer in 44-40. I would not shoot this load in my uberti 1866 but it works great in my japchester 92 Winchester.

buckeyeshooter

With weaver rings, a quarter fits the screw slot. If you used the complete weaver set up and had a damaged scope, you can remove it it about a minute. then you could use the irons. If your using a 2x8x33 or 1.5 x5 like me, low power is about the same as irons so no need to remove a scope without dam...

For 100fps does not sound like a great improvement. I would stick with the 35 remington or get a 338 me

buckeyeshooter

Rocky mountain cartridge makes new brass 10 ga. Shotshells. Cost varies by length. New ones go between 8 and 10 dollars last tine I looked. You can easily sell them to a cowboy action shooter on the wire. I have 3 10 ga. Shotguns and use brass cases for black powder loads for cowboy.

buckeyeshooter

Lets look at the other side of the coin. If I wanted to shoot a SASS class with smokless and did not allow a marlin. The 73 in 44 mag would make sense if I was using 44 mag vaqueros. I shoot 6 grains of unique and a 200 grain lead at 1120fps in the marlin and an average of 820 fps in a set of 4 5/8 ...

congratulations on a very nice bear. Love that old Marlin too!

buckeyeshooter

I read an article back in the mid 2000's that said Marlin had specially tuned the 1894 Cowboys in .357 / .38 to feed shorter rounds. I no longer have any of my gun mags so I cannot verify this. What I do know is that the 1894S I had was not fond of any cartridges that had a sharp shoulder on the bu...

Is this just something I'll need to accept? My 1894 Cowboy Limited has been worked over by a local gunsmith and it is smooth as butter, will feed anything in any which way seemingly. My 1894C which went to the same smith was a bit of a rescue because it had been screwed up by the previous owner. To...

Brass cases can easily be reloaded. I use them for cowboy action shooting. Rocky Mountain Cartridge makes an inexpensive loading set for this. I would really like to see a modern Slug available for the 3.5 inch 10 gauge.

Bass Pro is at least 20% higher cost on everything around here. I like Cabela's and bought items like pants, shorts and tennis shoes there. Bass Pro has expensive lower quality items and much less selection. Needless to say, Fin, fur and feather will get all my money now.

buckeyeshooter

I have not closely examined a 73, but I have an 86 and 95 that have 'real' case colored finish. My guess is that it is real.

buckeyeshooter

About like the Winchester lever action clones. A small core of lever action guys would buy them as a novelty, but I would not spend my life savings on a shipping container full to get rich.

buckeyeshooter

Faulty test design. The recoil is said to cause detonation, not impact. I notice, they are not using a lever gun and pointy bullets in something like a .308ME or 45/70. Just you tube nonsense in my book, Bubba bored that day! I don't know if recoil would really detonate a round or not. But, I don't ...

If it's a JM Marlin, I'd go with it. Like the 30-30 better. If it's a Remlin, I'll take anything else.

buckeyeshooter

With the quality of the Remlin's should be buy 1 get 1 free, then maybe you could make one JM

Marlin quality.

I would like a 454, but not in a bisley grip. If they ever make a plowhandle, I'll but one.

Several years back I bought a Dillon 650 with the case feeder and a lot of options. I had about $1200. in the set up. I could never get it to seat primers properly and the powder checker had to be readjusted every 20 rounds. After sending it back to Dillon and getting it back still not working prope...

I have an 1894 that I use for CAS and I did change to a steel 1 piece firing pin, along with new springs. The reason I changed it was with the lighter springs the hammer strike would not set off all brands of primers. CCI's would not fire. I own many other Marlins, none of which I have gone to a sin...

If you have done a Winchester 92, this will be cake!

What I do is start with highly reduced loads. Then shoot them for practice often. Somewhere along the line sight in with the 'heavy' ammo, then revert to the light load. Keep shooting, then check the 'heavy' to make positive it is still ok. Then go hunting. I never feel the recoil in a hunting situa...

buckeyeshooter

Shoot a 220 grain 300wm, then a 300 grain .338wm. You will quickly understand there is no comparison. The 300 will kick and the .338 will kick a lot! Works the same way on whatever poor creature you shoot with these things.

Here you go! I have several 44-40's but have always wanted a 38-40 too!
