[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 1826627, member: 112241"] I have a 1989 Marlin .444 with a Williams receiver sight, to which I added a Merit adjustable aperture. Much better than the semi-buckhorn rear, and with a quick dial you can open it up or turn it down for different lighting conditions. The only decent factory load is 265 grain, but I handload with some heavy 300 grainers which are just the ticket. Flatter shooting than a .45-70, and the magazine holds one more round. My buddy has a beautiful post-64 Model 94, gorgeous wood and bluing, and light, that is like a 4 MOA rifle, so I don’t know what’s wrong with it; crown looks OK. My next lever will be a Marlin Guide Gun, also in .444. I’m interested in comparing performance with the 22” Micro Groove barrel to the shorter Ballard cut rifling of the newer gun. [/QUOTE]
