lets play name that lever gun

Hey, the 'old Mod 88. Damn nice rifles. How's the trigger on it?

predictably terrible
it is a heavy trigger with some pre-travel before it goes bang. not light pre-travel, it is all the same weight so there is no "wall".

funny thing is growing up i didn't notice how bad it was.
i think i was more focused on the recoil, and how much i wish there was more padding on whatever i was wearing.
i don't remember shooting at anything so far away it really mattered. commit and pull.

Chuck Hawes does a good write up of the 88. Anyone solve the trigger issue?

yup.
for me it was buying a scar 20s with the 2-stage geissele trigger.

When I was doing my Dros on my Sheild I noticed a odd falling block rifle on the rack,asked the guy what it was and he said uuummm Marlin.Ok what caliber he looks and says .218,kept wondering why the reciever looked familiar but couldnt place it.Got home to do some research on the 218 and DANG that is expensive stuff,then I see a pic of a rifle and it hits me MARTINI!
Forearm has what i guess is called a Schuetzen style?Tip has a dramatic swoop down on it.Nice looking gun well worn but I always liked the Martini look and it is only 100 bucks.2 boxes of ammo would cost more than the gun.Still might pull the trigger on it its still there whenever my pickup date arrives.Of course the only pic that matched the rifle was a expired auction with no discreption left.It isnt a Cadet so just what is it besides a Martini?
