Winchester vs Marlin

I always liked Winchester and did not like Marlin. Come on, it's Winchester. Never owned either. When I finally decided to get a lever gun at age 51, I handled both in the store and the Marlin was an easy choice for me. I think Winchesters are better looking but will take a Marlin any day. YMMV.
 
The guy"s with a Winchester need to disassemble them and get back with us. Not allot of fun!
 
Try using a good receiver sight like the Williams or Lyman. A much quicker sight acquisition can be achieved than you can ever get with conventional irons if you use a peep sight for hunting correctly (sighting through the aperture, focusing only on the front sight and not attempting to center the front sight with the rear opening). With a little practice, you'll be pleasantly surprised as to how speedy a receiver sight can be.

I use the full buckhorn as a ghost ring.;)

Not too bad once you've done it a few times, now a 92 is a different story.:D
 
Why one fetch's more money over the other. Collectors and the popularity of such weapons set their value. If you want one bad enough you'll pay whatever the asking price. It's simple. "What ever the market will bare" sets the going price between those two brands.
 
I've noticed that my 94 Winchester kicks more than my wife's 336. Hers is easy on the shoulder while my 94 hits you pretty good - more than you would expect out of a 30-30. I got lucky with the wife's gun - it's a 336 cc (camo stock). Haven't seen any of them around or on auction sites. For some reason I can't upload a photo from my computer because it says the file is too big.

You need to resize the image, so that the largest dimension is no more than 800 pixels. For landscape orientation, that would be 800 pixels wide. For portrait orientation, it would be 800 pixels tall.
 
My marlin was made in 1978 IIRC and has the cross bolt safety

CBS did not come into full production till 1983...

As for Marlin vs. Winchester, I regularly shoot Marlin levers manufactured from 1912 to 1990...

I've only fired one Win94 ever, and coming from a 1958 Marlin 336RC in .35 Rem, I was not impressed enough to ever shoot another...
