But cripes cheaper to just keep status quo
Discontinued Guns
Must be the sign of the times to stay fresh and new, and keep selling but damn guns are going out of production it seems quicker all the time. Even the past 10 years models/versions of guns I bought new are no longer made.

You guys can't afford them..
If you should find anything better that a lever, I suggest you buy it

No but the best lever is beyond a doubt the Winchester 94.Is there something better than a lever?
I was always a Winchester guy but over the years I drug Marlins home. They made some fine stuff. Now I am torn. I am usually in the woods with a Winchester or a Marlin. Have some nice Brownings but they do not get the same hunt time.No but the best lever is beyond a doubt the Winchester 94.
Shame , Shame , Shame on you ! LmaoHave some nice Brownings but they do not get the same hunt time.
I've never even handled a modern Marlin but the 336 is supposed to be a great rifle from what I read. If they handle as nicely as a Winchester Model 94 they must be a joy to carry. IMO the '94 I have is hands down the nicest carrying rifle I've ever handled. Lovely balance and light but solid.I was always a Winchester guy but over the years I drug Marlins home.

I agree the Model 94 is the best rifle to carry in your hand, great balance.
The only two Winchesters that get ample hunt time for me now is the 307's and 356's. In early 2008 Marlin produced a limited time their 308 and 338 express rifles, simular to the model 64 Winchester with short mag tube. They are flat shooting rifles out to 400 yards. I bought two 308's the SS model and the blued model. Never came across the 338. Crazy accurate, beautifully balanced. Today they are crazy money. I also have a few 44's, Winchester and Marlin. The Marlins have won that category sorry to say. A favorite of mine is the Marlin cow boy action octagon barrel, and a Marlin SS model. They seem to be better balanced for me than the Winchester 44"s, and a tad more accurate with home loads. It may be the weight difference, Marlins always feel heaver.I've never even handled a modern Marlin but the 336 is supposed to be a great rifle from what I read.

I like the Marlin, except the cord of wood they left on when making the fore-arm....Winchester 94 32 Special is my preference,, but I also like and use the 30-30 as well, just fine firearms.
Here's a picture of my grandfather and his best friend ever, taken in 1963 at his home, the last deer that they got together. My grandfather died in 1968 and he was 87 so he would of been 82 in this picture. He was using his 32 Special and his friend was using a 30-30,, both Winchester 94's.
I was fortune enough to inherit his 32 Special, made in 1910. He bought it when they built the #7 going down through Aspen and Goshen he said back in early 20's. bought it at the corner store corner of #7 and the Blue Mountain Rd. Tried out a 30-30 and a 303 and this 32 special, he decided to take the 32 because it had the most kick of them all. He claimed if they didn't kick it didn't have much power, leave it where it is. My grandfather is the guy on the right wearing red. his buddy wearing the brown. Imagine wearing a brown suede jacket today in the woods.
Oh yea, paid $12.98 for it and said he haggled a box of shells for it and was told he got a deal,, not so sure about that he said at the time,, it was used. lol

Yes they are nice to carry but for me the 94’s are just too short. My arms are too long for the style of rifle.I agree the Model 94 is the best rifle to carry in your hand, great balance.
Damm! That's one big bodied buck.View attachment 98544
What a brute. It kind of reminded me of this one I took with a Winchester 307.
Times have certainly changed since that picture was taken, and not necessarily for the better.Here's a picture of my grandfather and his best friend ever, taken in 1963 at his home, the last deer that they got together.
