It's going to be tough to find a better lever-gun for 44 Mag than a Winchester model 1892 or clone there of. Why no interest in Rossi? The Rossi M92 might not be the fanciest but for the money its hard to beat. I have a 16 inch M92 in 44 Mag and it is a sweet carrying rifle. Carried it for deer hunting a few times and throwing in the back of the Ranger when out working on feeders, food-plots and trails.

Check Henry Rifles I believe they have an all weather model stainless model. For $2,400 I get Freedom Arms 475 Linebaugh 7.5 inch handgun to chase pigs around in bushes. $2,400 Marlin= MORON...

I have one that Mr. Bowen stepped on quite a bit...I can dig it out and send pics if interested.
Not Laminated stock but barrel cut down, new sights, sling swivels and large loop. It came back 2 weeks after the trip I needed it for. |

I like my 1894 LTD in .44 mag. I have seen them sell in the 1200.00 range but it's been a while since I have looked.

I've been happy with my 1894 in 44 that I sent to Ranger Point Precision. Had him install a custom 16" barrel with a 1-20 twist and thread it for my Silencerco Hybrid. He did an action/trigger job on it. I've only had it back for a few weeks so it has only been on a short range trip. Been very happy with the work so far. I'd definitely like to add a laminated stock to it, but I haven't started looking for one yet.

A couple years ago, I scored a Win 94 trapper in .44 large loop with box at a LGS, then a month or two later I came across a (JM) Marlin 1894P in .44 with the XS rail at another LGS! Score! Both were about $800 or $900ish. Some of you all may say "that's a lot of money....." but I frequent the LGS and had not seen any prior nor since. I have not shot the Win but have taken the Marlin out on a couple of range trips, I love the Marlin! I put the XS sights and added the Wild West happy trigger and the bear proof ejector.
I would like to get hands on the Taylor's Alaskan Takedown, if it is as nice as the good folks reviewing on youtube say it is, even at $1200 I may get one. I Hope you find one! D |

I have heard the new Marlins aren't as good as the older ones.
Any truth to this? |

I slicked them up using Steve's DvD and parts and both are terrific guns, light, accurate with slick actions and decent triggers. |

It took me about an hour to refit the stock properly. It was worth the price to me... dealer knocked 100$ off due to the crappy stock fit. They had issues with canted sights, mag tubes that were mounted funky, stock fit being laughable (i.e. gaps several mm wide), actions not feeding properly and I believe even a period where the dovetail mounting the magtube to the barrel left the barrel wall dangerously thin. From what I've seen recently, they've addressed those issues, but they're still not as nice as the guns from the actual Marlin company. I'd still suggest that JM marked Marlins are superior to todays Remlin guns, but the current production guns aren't bad. I'd only buy if I could inspect prior to buying though... that's just me. |

I have a personal dislike for the odd safety, but it's easy enough to remove and plug, or remove and replace with a peep sight. (hate the modern Marlin push safety as well... a lever guns safety is an empty chamber IMHO) |

safety on a lever action is a half cock.
I like the henry's but they are just too damned heavy to be useful. I'll probably get a rossi. My dad has a 357 marlin from the 70s Great gun. |

I've got an 1894P in .44. It's one of my favorite guns. I paid $350 for it used less than 10 years ago. I love to shoot that thing. Blued finish and wood stocks means it's not exactly "all-weather", but I wouldn't hesitate to grab it for just about any shooting task. D |

I like my Rossi
I tuned up the action with the stevezdvd https://store.stevesgunz.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=2&zenid=lsr6iic6uf1vgkbdie9e2kpqf5 I can load it up with bunny fart handloads for the kids, or H-110 magnum loads I've run the shit out of it, and never had any trouble.
