I wish somebody would make an affordable lever gun in 460s&w. I don't really want to pay $3,100 for one.

MI rail is on order. Mounted an extra aimpoint I had laying around on it. This is my first lever gun and I’m in love!

I can’t think of a better setup. I much prefer the Marlins to the Henry’s, although I haven’t shot the newer X series so not sure on those. But the 1894’s have a ton of aftermarket support and can be slicked up nice.
Depend who you ask. Generally you have the traditional crowd who frowns on any modern attachment lol.
I will say the Razor is a heavy bitch and it makes the light and skinny lever guns feel like they have a lopsided brick on them. Because of how short they are vertically, they feel much more awkward than an AR with heavy optics.
A lot of guys like a 1-4/1-6 on them but I’d go lighter and mounted lower

With 45-70 so prevalent I’m not sure the market is there for it.

Question for you lever experts. Are any or all of these cartridges safe to use in a tube? The nose on the Remington is the same size as the primer. Its not just the point, its the recoil that applies force to the primer from the round stacked in front of it. Its not enough in a 38 special to...

It's super light and functional even out to 200 yards with the .44 Mag, so it should be capable at 200-300 with a .45-70.

Strike Eagle riflescopes offer even more features in an updated body, making them ideal for value-minded shooters who need an optic that looks as good...

My son has that same rifle. I gave it to him when he was little and now he’s a Soldier and still loves his 22 the best.
Thanks I appreciate that.
The unmolested ones are getting harder and harder to find.
Most have what I referred to as
“the sniper rifle modification”
A drilled receiver to mount a scope.
I like Marlin 39A. I have given 1 to each of my 3 kids and 4 grandkids.
I don't like the ones with the push button lawyer safety.
The older ones are getting harder to find and pricy. Hope my kids are done having younguns.
I have been shooting mine for over 50 years and never had a problem with it.

It really is a good looking rifle. Clean lines, everything flows together aesthetically. Simpler times.
Great looking rifle. Very similar to the setup I want to start on.
Henry X .357 & .44, and a recent Marlin 45-70.
Debating a Dead Air Primal can for it.

In the last couple of months of 2022 I picked up 3 new Henry X models, 357 Mag, 30-30 and a 45-70. I have orders in for Midwest industries handguards and Chisel stocks. I gave my Henry .357 Mag Big boy steel side gate to my son. No picks as they all look like a Henry X model, black plastic.
At the suggestion of @Makinchips208 here’s this. I own this beautiful piece of history. It came from my great grandad to my grandad to my dad to me. Obviously it’s priceless to me. Still shoots good. This rock was 280 yards. Center punched it off the tripod

Love the rifle. You hit that rock with open sights? Wow.
I think I just traded my 300blk bolt gun for a marlin 336. Good trade ?
Caliber?
I had a 336 in 35 Remington a ways back and it was a slick little thing. Some serial number help if you have it in hand for year of production IF it is JM stamped
New one for me, Ruger made GBL in 45-70 sporting an SHV 3-10 with IHR and a Hybrid 46.
I'm hunting a straightwall/alt firearms season in October and sought this one out to avoid using a front stuffer.
This was my grandfather's 336 in 35 Rem. from 1950. It took me 40 years to kill a deer with it.
Unsure. Belongs to a friend of mine currently. He took it in trade for a TV.
Said he's had it about ten years. Never shot it. I should clarify, it is used, but he's never used it. Told me it went in the safe when he got it, and he's got no plans to do anything with it.
It's a 30-30. I wish it was a 35 remington. That would be sweet considering I already have a hybrid 36m. Thanks for the info. That will be helpful when/if I get it in hand.
This is the way. And the plan!
Just a couple of levers

I picked up a 1980 Marlin 35 Rem several years ago and was shocked at the going rates for 35 Rem ammo. Had to buy a few boxes just for the brass, but it was way too expensive. 45-70 and 30-30 were so much cheaper.Unsure. Belongs to a friend of mine currently. He took it in trade for a TV.

This thread made me go down the rabbit hole and look at a RugerMarlin 45-70 guide gun
You all suck
You all suck
Don’t tease me now lolI know where there is a Winchester 1886 in 45-70 looking for a good home.
My sons first rifle and first deer. JM Marlin in 357 mag. Handloaded Ranch Dog 195 grain hard cast. Open sight head shot at 65 yards. You can see the bullet hole by the left eye (the deers left)
If memory serves (I checked via serial number a long time ago) it was 1910 or 1911An Indian with an old Winchester.
1894 32 special. Made in what year?
Haven't shot it yet, but will on Friday this week. The feller I got it from put 2 rounds of 405 grn cowboy loads through it and stuck it back in the safe. Lol.
Handling is great with the playing I've done. I would have no problem toting it for a long hunt.
Also snagged this one in the same deal, .357 SBL.
I still blame you for me getting an AIAT so I'd say we're even. Lol.
I have been loading some 357 mags for my Winchester 1892. I am pushing the 140 grain xtps to 2400fps with Lil Gun. They expand to .65" and penetrate DEEP! Absolutely hammers deer.
From what I remember his first shot was high, someone jokingly said “come down 11 moa”
Then the second shot nailed the rock.
Rock was roughly 8” wide by 14” tall.
Thank you! I love that rifle too. Yes I hit that rock second shot. 280 yards and the front sight is very tiny. Also, you have to bury it in the rear sight or you hit high. I hit high as Makinchips208 said. Second shot was center/center. That rifle has killed quite a few deer and elk when dad owned it. I’ve not killed any game with it, but every year I say I’m going to. If I do I’ll have to post a pic somewhere in here
I have a soft spot for lever guns. I once owned a 26” octagon-barreled Marlin 45-70 but sold it off like a dummy. But it didn’t have the stories nor the soul of your rifle.
We all do dumb stuff
Had a 45-70 JM stamped; the stainless version with the laminate stocks. I look at the prices of them now and choke
And my ex FIL has my JM stamp 30-30 he just had to buy off me….
Sigh.
Yeah but you were able to give him his daughter back... so evens-stevens.
