[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2267952, member: 5437"] Levers are stupid money right now as mentioned previously. If you can find one I'd certainly grab it or if you can be patient the new Ruger Marlins should be really good. Ruger is a great match for Marlin IMO and Marlin fills a hole in their line. I have a 45-70 1895 Remlin that is very nice and problem free. It's one of my favorites. My eyes almost necessitate an optic. I find the LPVO a perfect match. I would like to try the hammer bullets for it. It likes 325 FTX bullets and will cloverleaf them at 100yds. [ATTACH=full]292979[/ATTACH] My son now has my pre64 Winchester 94 in 30-30. That is also a fun rifle and super smooth. Scopes on those don't work too well and I prefer the Marlin. He loves and appreciates the rifle so that's a win both ways. I have several BLR takedowns and they are also really cool. I'm in process of rebarreling two with one being a two barrel set. They are less traditional but can shoot modern pointed bullets for better long range performance. Triggers on those aren't great but can be made decent. The BLR safety is one of the best designs out there, second only to the Winchester 70 with 3 position IMO. [/QUOTE]
