In general, when it comes to my leverguns, I live by the 3M’s:
Make Mine a Marlin!
But I will admit, I had a couple Win 94 Trappers which were insanely sweet for portage. I had youth stocks on mine, and the short 16” barrels, they were ultra light, perfectly balanced, and super streamlined for carry. I just never seem to be able to get used to the massive wounds in the top and bottom of the actions, so I’ve never been as comfortable with the Win’s as the Marlins.
