I currently own a Marlin 1895 in .357 mag. I won it in a raffle and I couldnt trade up or pick another caliber. My feeling for this gun is simple, I just dont have any use for it. Its too big to squirrel hunt with, too small for deer, and not a good distance gun for groundhogs. I bought a box of 50 rounds for it when I won it (4 years ago), and have yet to use it up. If I found someone who was dying to have one, I would trade it in a minute, problem is, nobody wants to give anything for it. It basically takes up space in my cabinet and looks good in line with all of my other lever actions, thats it!
