I have had both. They are both great guns but I found the Winchester had a smoother action than the Marlin and was less fussy about ammo.

The Uberti is fun but not so smooth and misfires more than any rimfire I ever owned.

It's a shame that the Hornet can't be used in a tube mag. I would swop my CZ 527 FS tomorrow for a lever gun. Its a very useful round, especially in more built up areas. Perhaps someone might scale down a Win.95 or Savage 99 but that is just wishful thinking! 8)
