THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Here is my marlin 1894LTDSS in .357 magnum, Now i still need to wrap the lever in paracord, or perhaps get a large lever.



And i did some load development with it, apparently they like hotter loads, this is 15 grains of H110. 33 yards, who says lever guns and red dots arent accurate?

Very nice!

It looks like a 16 inch barrel. I havent been following Marlin rifles for a few years and thought they had stopped making the 16 inch 357 carbine.

Its very pretty and looks like it shoots well too!

I haven't shot mine yet.
Good groups you got for sure.
Were you using jacketed or all lead bullets? I'm guessing jacketed.
What grain?
What red dot is that, and what size dot?

I wish they would make this gun again, as I think it would be extremely popular, if sold at a decent price point. But then, ours would be worth less, as supposedly, there were only about 351 made.

I was using hornady XTP 158 grains. Its an aimpoint micro, i believe they are 4moa dots.

I have the 1894SSLTD in .44 and have been after the .357 for a long time.

Very nice! Probably one of the last good Marlins.
I've tried to see things from the liberal point of view ... but I'm just not flexible enough to get my head up my ass.

Dont know who told you that they weren't accurate but I guess this says otherwise.

Wish I had the laminate for my SS.. Very nice indeed!
