Lever fever

[Pauliedad]

Got to shoot my first lever today.

Its a Marlin 336 in 30-30

How will a .44 mag compare?

Big 5 has Rossi's for $439.00

Any good?

[Sosoomi]

I have both..... The 44 has much less recoil...hits hard...and the pistol caliber is an easy reload.... Trust me....you will shoot a lot.... I have a few of each but for pure, affordable fun... I go to my .44 or .357.... My Rossi guns are a joy.... Just picked up a Henry in 44 but haven't shot it yet..... I can tell you it is much heavier.

Always wanted a cowboy action. Picking up my first tomorrow. 3030 M336w. Excited! Don't wanna hijack the thread with any stupid questions. So carry on...

Levers= old school awesomeness!!! Lol

Look up .457 Alaskan. Nice lever gun. Costs more but has a much higher cool factor.

Rossi r92 is smooth!

I have a 45 Colt Rossi 92 it's a really good rifle.

Ask away! No worries from me on having a conversation change direction.

30-30 more recoil than 44 mag?

[Capybara]

Why are you wasting your time with those pretenders to the throne when you could be shooting one of these ;-)













J/K, I know the Rossis are nice but a 1951 Winchester 1894 in .30-30 is cheaper and more fun plus it's C&R!!! Although .30-30 ammo is going to kill your bank account if you don't reload.

I can relate



Marlin 1895 CB 45/70
Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited .357
Henry 22

Ok, now I'm drooling.
Now I have to figure out what to sell or trade.

Get a old beat up 94 before they had safety on them, mine is a franken 94 with parts from everything in it

[saudadeii]

I have a '59 M94 in 30-30. Sweet!!

Since lever guns are being discussed I thought I'd post an item I just stumbled across - a drop in saddle ring that replaces the Marlin cross bolt safety on 336, 1894 & 1895 rifles.

Costs $30.00. This fellow sells a "faux screw" replacement for only $9.95:

Easy to install and you can switch back at any time.
