Stangosaurus Rex |
I recently picked up a new Marlin 1894 CBSL .357 Magnum. I robbed a Vortex red dot off of one of my ARs to see if I like it. I've got 200 rounds of .38 and 5 rounds of .357 through it. It is very polite! She is a beauty of a gun!     Walked it in. The loader gate is still a bit stiff but the action is so smooth, I felt like Chuck Connors! ___________________________ "I Get It Now" Beth Greene | ||

I don't care for the big loop. Personally, I wish they had made it with a 20" barrel so that it would take 10 rounds of .38's. Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia. NRA Range Safety Officer NRA Certified Instructor - Pistol / Personal Protection Inside the Home | |||

I'm with Rolan, but I bet it is a sweet shooter. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Nice. I have similar gun in 45/70. The rail needed Locktite to secure the screws. I did take the lever out and buffed out the tool marks on it and the side of the bolt. http://marauder.homestead.com/files/TUNING_M_1894.htm Polish only to those parts | |||

Wait, what? |
I like the shorty 1894’s. Very little is gained from the additional 4” of a 20” barrel, ballistically speaking. I hunt with mine in somewhat thick cover, so a stubby 16” is the perfect size. Only thing I don’t like is the curved grip. An 1894 should only have a straight grip- leave the curved pistol grip to the 336’s!  “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

I want the 45-70 SBL next! I'm not sure what I'll use it for though. It has passed my mind to carry one on my jetski out in the ocean in case I'm am accosted by a great white! ___________________________ "I Get It Now" Beth Greene | |||

I've been eyeballing these. Looks great, and believe I read somewhere the recoil is so light even with .357 magnum. There was one in the Classifieds for a great price, but I dragged my feet and am now kicking myself. Oh well. Was trying to just move on, but now I want one again. Looks good with the red dot, too. To be honest, I was turned onto the gun from the movie Wind River, where Jeremy Renner's character uses the 1895 version. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

Nice, I’ve been waiting on those. It’ll go nicely with my 586 L-Comp. | |||

Does the loading gate/port bite your fingers? ____________________ | |||

Its tight and hard on the fingers. I've got about 285 rounds of .38 and a few of 357, it feels slightly lighter. I'm hoping it will lighten up over time. ___________________________ "I Get It Now" Beth Greene | |||

It's pretty handy when wearing gloves. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

That is nice. Short barrel is the way to go for a woods walker. I have a Winchester Trapper 357 I have on the 4 wheeler when I head out. | |||
