best lever action 30-30
 

in anyones opinion what maker has the best lever action 30-30. and feel free to ellaborate

Marlin, hands down.

It is stronger, smoother, side eject and IMO much better looking than the Winchester. Not that the 94 is a bad gun or anything but IMO the marlin is definetly a better gun.

Another vote for the Marlin, the Winchester M94 can't compare to a Marlin 336.

Ruger Redhawk

Annother vote for Marlin. They are just strong, sturdy, good shooting guns.

MARLIN !! Good luck.

RE: best lever action 30-30
 

Marlin 336 with out a doubt !

I have had mine for about 16 years and love it more each day :)

RE: best lever action 30-30
 

I have both a marlin and a winchester 94 the marlin is a far nicer gun and very smooth!

RE: best lever action 30-30
 

Does Marlin make a 24" barrel for their levers in a 30-30? I have never owned a 30-30, someday I want a good lever gun in 30-30 with a 24" tube and 7 round magizine.

From a lefty point of view, model 94. Mine is a '62 model and it shoots 150g or 170g into 2-3" groups at 100 yds. with open sights. It's been good enough for the deer that I went out with and has put a lot of meat in the freezer.

The Marlins are nice looking rifles and easier to scope.

Marlin is the strongest, most rugged, of lever actions. I have a Marlin 30AS and it is a heck of a sweet shooter! [8D]
