Just bought one of those 44 mag rifles the other day in a 6 gun deal. Just like new and a real sweet shooter...at least as well as I can shoot it anyway. The best of what I got tho was a Remington XP100 Metallic silhouette in 35 Remington. Darn thing really does shoot good...even if it does have the regular sights. I had another 1894 a few years ago but it was stolen and trashed by the thief. Don't know what they sell for now but they are pricey I'm sure...every thing else is. Of the six I bought the only one I'm going to keep is the 1894 Marlin...the rest have to go.
