I like the Marlin lever actions, they all seem to shoot great. In fact I will go out on a limb and say that the average Marlin will outshoot the average Winchester handsdown. The BLR action is different, but very strong and smooth.


frizzellr,

The .356 has lower pressure than the .358. The .356 was made to replace the .348 win. The .358 is basically a higher pressure .356. The .307 and .375 were introduced in the bigbore at a time when the .348,.356 and .358 were fadeing. The .307 is a strange round, basically a .300 savage.
