I have a rossi m92. Been awesome so far, it was having trouble feeding .357 but braztech took care of it no questions asked. It is one of my favorite guns.

The winchester 94 can be reloaded while rounds are still in the mag tube. Does the marlin allow you to reload while there are still rounds in the mag tube?
Just a thought. |

Was wondering if they did the same if chambered in pistol calibers. |

WTH???
 Slightest wind of AWB and now we are talking LEVER GUNS??? THIS ISN'T COWBOYGUNS.COM SON!!  This is BLACK RIFLE COUNTRY!!!  I got me a Marlin in 30-30 and got a hankerin' for other lever guns now... If the .357 is anything like the 30-30... GET IT! The one thing I gotta say about lever guns (goes for my Henry goldenboy too) EVERY SINGLE TIME I raise them up, sights are already lined up for me.  |

It's a great gun. I would recommend the Ballard rifling and staying away from the Micro-groove barrels if you plan on shooting a lot of non jacketed bullets. |

The JM marked Marlin 1894's are generally considered the best of the 357's.
That being said I saw one on the WTT forum this morning. Looks like the ultra hard to find 1894CSS. Stainless 18" barrel version. |

I have two leverguns currently.
An 1894 CP (357) and an 1894P (44 Mag) I sold a Rossi 1894 357 lever gun to pay for some other purchases because I never shot it. The Marlin 1894CP is a blast to shoot and loads of fun. Havent shot the 44 mag yet. I prefer the Marlin's over the Rossi's because the Marlins are side eject and allow for the easy mounting of an optic on top. Rossi's are top ejectors and require a side mount for any optic. Just my opinion. |

My Marlin 1894 .44 has noticeable recoil. I need a taller front sight or a scope because it shoots high at 50 yds. I would like to shoot one in .357.

My Marlin 1894c can shoot up to 246 grain bullets that I handload myself. It is also threaded for my Trident9 suppressor Those heavy bullets hit like a ton of bricks and they are very quiet.

I had a Marlin 1894C. Nice gun. In typical fashion, I sold it off to fund some other purchase.
I could probably go for another one (to go with my S&W 64) or a 1894 in .44 (to go with my Dad's Colt Anaconda).

Stay FAAARRRR away from any marlins produced 2007+. Below that your gtg. Also I'd advise against Rossi. If you have trouble which is likely they are the worst customer service I've ever dealt with in my life. Tooks 3 months to replace a out of spec loading gate on a Ranch Hand and my experience is one of many. check out marlinowners.com

A buddy of mine's wife owns a Marlin in .357 Magnum. She shoots it often and well. She owns the first hundred yards with it.
Low recoil and low cost shooting with .38 Special reloads. |

A really great looker. Very nice action. It's a laser with almost any ammo and super quiet with .38 ammo. It is a little heaver with the octagon barrel but is fairly well balanced and I like the look of the octagon barrel. The weight helps to reduce the recoil some. My wife (that's 104 lbs and recoil sensitive) likes shooting it. I really want to panic buy the Yellow Boy in .22 LR to match it.

So you haven't seen Mossberg's lever action black rifle? It was my understanding that for a rimmed pistol caliber, the model 92 and model 1873 were the prefered actions (can be made to cycle smoother than the newer actions that were designed for longer rifle calibers). |
