Lever Guns

The only thing wrong with a Savage 99 is that they are not making new ones anymore.

Amen Nashoba. Man, I'd like to get my hands on one in .300 Savage or .308.

I'm beginning to think that my Marlin isn't digging the .30-30 LeverEvolution bullets. Seemed to be grouping Federal 180s fine, but the 170 grain LEs seemed to walk all over the place. Made me wishy-washy enough on it that I hunted with my .308 Mauser this year. Next year I dial it in with 180s and leave it be.

Anyone shooting .308 Marlin Express? Seems like it would be a pretty versatile lever cartridge, if'n you like to reload. Then again, so is the .30-30AI

I have two Savage Model 99's, both in 250-3000. One was bought new by my Grandad in 1919 which is the first year they made them in that calibre. The other was purchased in the 1940's by my Dad. I shot my first deer with Dad's, and my Son killed his first deer with the same weapon. i also have a pre-'64 Model 94 and a Winchester model 71.

I love my Marlin 45/70 bought some LeverEvolution rounds that I have not tried yet. The shear power is amazing though.

I have an old 336 in .35 Remington and it will drop Hornady Leverrevolution 200 grains in a teacup at 250 yds. That's amazing ammo and much better accuracy since I put a tactical scope on it calibrated to the correct caliber.

my whole child hood i loved my dads 336, he still has it and shoots just as well as it did when he got it(almost 40yrs ago). my bro bought one from walmart and its a good shooter as well, i,ve always liked them better than winchesters, my neighbor had(winchester) one and i never could be that fond of a lever that wasnt a marlin, just from childhood memories and the feelin of that gun as a kid

Does anyone know if Marlin has ever made the 1895 Guide Gun in 450 Marlin, in stainless with the laminated stock. I'd love to have one set up to those specs.

I'm not very familiar with any lever guns - but I did just order a Marlin 336ss - so I picked Marlin

Have one of each, but still go to the Winny when I want to bring home something to eat.
