RE: Lever guns
Marlin leverguns are the only centerfire I've ever hunted with and the only thing I've owned. 336C .35, 1895G, 39-A Mountie, 336SS, and coming in 08 308MX, 1894 .44, and probably a 336W. I refuse to hunt with anything other than a lever. I am considering a Browning BLR in .300WSM right now but I havent really set my mind on it.

RE: Lever guns
bought a 30-30 marlin 336a last season. I use it when we are in the woods or driving thru the thick stuff. I had a scope on it but since removed. See thru rings and accuracy just wasn't there. I love hunting with it. It's nice and short, lightweight, no recoil and with iron sights i can hit whatever i point it at in close range. Wouldn't be without it on a deer hunt.

If I'm on a hunting trip, I bring my Win 94 30-30 along. I'll use it whenever (took it with and got a speed goat with it in October) but I like it best when I'm in heavy woods or walking.

RE: Lever guns
Marlin 1894 .45 Colt. My primary hunting rifle. No, I don't use the cowboy loads for hunting. I buy from buffalo bore. 325gn 1325fps. Out of a blackhawk anyway. I've never bothered to have mine chrono'd. Shoots good. Used to use Cor-bons, but I just found buffalo bore and I like them better. Cheaper too.

Here's a guy after my own heart. Although, I admit, I do hunt with bolts and scopes, too. But I *love* lever-actions -especially Winchester 94s- and I hunt with minewhenever I get the chance.Hunting with a 94 just can't be beat, IMO.
