Re: New Marlin.
Ammo for a .30-30 is not that much more, if at all, over the .44mag ammo, especially if you just buy the cheap stuff for pinking.GFK wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 8:42 pmThose are nice trilogies. Although, I am not familiar with Browning. However, there lots of brands that I am not familiar with. I thought about and handled a Winchester, but I did not want third 30-30. Yet, I do have a 2019 1894C that I enjoy shooting. Than again, I enjoy shooting all my lever actions. But, the ammo for the 1894C is a bit cheaper, which is one of the reasons that I bought it. Nevertheless, I shoot them all as often as I can. Happy shooting!
If you've decided you don't want a .30-30, you must have never shot a .30-30.
Once you do, you'll be hooked.

Re: New Marlin.
Very nice looking new Marlin 6MT. The wood looks really good too. Only one I have is the 1895 GS .45-70.
How is the trigger on yours? I've had mine for several years and have an order pending for the Ranger Point Precision trigger assembly.
Will be looking forward for a Range Report! Enjoy the day!

Re: New Marlin.
No. I have not shot one. It did not cycle well. Even, the LGS's owner had a hard time cycling it. So, I passed. At Walmart, I could get a box of 30-30s for about $17 and a box of .38s (which had 50 rounds) for about the same. For target practice, it worked for me. But, the .357s were not too much less than the 30-30s. Yet, the 1894 also pairs well with my S&W. So, I can shoot two for the price of one.Mgderf wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 9:24 amAmmo for a .30-30 is not that much more, if at all, over the .44mag ammo, especially if you just buy the cheap stuff for pinking.GFK wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 8:42 pmThose are nice trilogies.

Re: New Marlin.
This "Trilogy" thing is catching! Two Henry's, a Mod94 Win and a Marlin 39A. And my Ruger#1B falling block/lever. That count?

Re: New Marlin.
the similarity is more than in appearance .... in its BLR Browning introduced its innovative rotary locking bolt .... Henry incorporated that concept in its Long Ranger .... this brings the same style strong lockup of the bolt and barrel found in bolt action rifles ....
