I have the Marlin model 1894-P in .44 mag. I love it, smooth action, light to carry and I have put 2" groups @ 50 yds. shooting off hand with it with factory ammo. I also have a Blackhawk in .44 mag so it is nice to carry both with the same box of ammo.
Next one will be the 45-70 stainless Guide gun. Just have to ifnd where I put that extra $$$$ that I buried........

Sorry for the late post, just trolling through the old stuff and it caught my eye.
So Deerslayer, what did you buy??
