I've come like Marlin 336's in .30-30 more than Winchester 94's. It was a hard decision. I finally had to think long and hard. Why did I like the Winchester over the Marlin? Well, it was only one reason. Purely because it looked better. The Marlin is smoother, and holds a degree of strength more, and are way more accurate. And, yes, they aren't as pretty. But, to my defense, and the guys on here can back me up, are you going to stay with the girl that looks gorgeous, that does nothing for you over the one that is pretty, and loves you, and cooks and cleans, and takes care of you?
Now, I will end up eventually getting a lever action in .22 and .45-70.
Guess which ones I'm going to pick? Yup! The Marlins!

the gorgeous ones are called "mistresses" the pretty ones who love and care for you are called "wives"------sorry Bryce, couldn't resist LOL
polaris, that 99/300 is a sweet combination, good suggestion
Cheyenne, it is almost sacrilegious NOT to have a 30/30 in a lever collection
