I have a Ted Williams (sears) 30-30 that was given to me. Handles like a dream. Haven't shot it yet because the original owner put so few rounds through it that the inspection proofs (in permanent marker) on two of the internal pieces (that you can see when levering open the gun) are not rubbed off yet. Kinda makes me wanna keep it thataway.

the Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum is my favorite. Mine has taken many a deer and hog. The only load I have ever used is a Speer Gold Dot 270 grain SP over 21 grains of H110 with Winchester primers.
The rifle/load combination gives me clover leaf groups at 50 yards, and less than 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards. It kills animals grave yard dead.

Wow..an oldie and a goodie.. For a person not really in love with Lever guns I sure have a few. 3-64 Winchesters 1 30-30 the other 2 are 32 Specials. Marlin 336 in 35 Rem. Marlins in 444 44 mag a 41 mag a 218 Bee and a just acquired 32 H&R mag Also have a family owned 39A. A Cowboy 45-70 is almost fun...but the most fun is a toss-up tween a 2nd year 92 Win rebarrelled to 44 mag and a 94 Win 24 inch bbl'd 357 mag. I also have a 73 Win 38-40 but have only shot 5 rounds out of it. The 357 is the cat's meow. I also have a Winchester 71 in 348 but it is not a lot of fun to shoot and it is very heavy to carry in the mountains. So I guess the 357 is the most shot and used.

Hi Skeet, Its been a while since I have posted , Just thought I would put my 2 cents in here, I have a 336 RC Marlin lever action in 35 Remington that will rip a Ragged hole in paper targets using 158 gr 357 caliber Hornady XTP pistol bullets with the right load of powder. Its a really fun rifle to shoot not much recoil and puts them where you want them! LOL

I have used pistol bullets in the 336 in 35 Rem. I just got another older Marlin in 35.and to be honest I stole it. Paid 150 bucks and got a Lyman peep sight in the box with it. I still have a box(of 50) of older Remington 150 gr 35 kinda pointy bullets for the 35 Remington made to be used in the Remington 141. Probably won't use 'em in the Marlin though. Still like shooting the Win 94 rifle in 357
