Schlitz 45
New member
It's been 40 years since I had a lever action rifle & I've been shopping for one in 45 Colt to team up with my Vaquero for over a year. Picked up a Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited manufactured in 1997 (JM stamped barrel)in like new condition last week. I looked at everything I could get my hands on & this was "the one". It's a pound & a half lighter than a Henry & has side eject that I like better than the Winchester's.
Put a Skinner Express peep sight on it & tried out some hand loads last Sunday at 60 yards mostly to see if I was going to have to add a new front site, but I think I'm good for now. Sure feels good in my hands.
