[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 1826848, member: 67515"] I too like the Marlin cowboy 45-70 with the 26” barrel. It’s Ballard type rifling. Shoots amazing and very versatile. I’ve had a beautiful Win .44 mag with octagon barrel. Nice rifle and capable of unloading cartridges without emptying the magazine tube. The .44 mag honestly is lacking in energy compared to the 30-30. So my choice would be both the Marlin in 45-70 of your configuration and a nice light slender Win 94 in 30-30. I’m a retired cowboy but still ride a lot and have carried both rifles often as a saddle gun. Highly recommend ghost ring sights for both especially if you have aging eyes like me. 30-30 for everyday carry chasing yotes and plinking. For big game of course the 45-70. That’s my two sense [/QUOTE]
