[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1867804, member: 69192"] AS for a lever gun, there are a lot of great options out there to choose from. I have a fondness for Marlins, have owned one kind or another for the past 35 years or more. The Marlin 336 in any cartridge/caliber has always been an extremely reliable and accurate rifle. I had a Marlin Marauda in 35 Remington that would group 1 inch 180gr factory ammo all day long. Presently own a vintage Marlin 1895 and a Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70. When purchasing a rifle I believe that it is important to remember that our eyesight is going to change as we mature ([U]hate that dirty four-letter word "[I]get-old[/I]"[/U]). The thing that I like about the Marlin 336 is the capability to mount a scope on the rifle, unlike the Winchester 94. I like the options that Skinner sights affords you as far as receiver sights as well as a scope mount all in one scope base; something that you might want to consider. I also have a Browning BLR in .308 Winchester that I would not hesitate to put up against any lever rifle. The BLR is extremely accurate out to 300 yards all day long, and again if you wanted to mount a scope in Skinner sights it is available. Good luck with your next purchase, not matter what you buy it will be a fun purchase; sort of like a new Christmas present. [/QUOTE]
