mybeach Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 My friend suggested the marlin 1849 in another thread. Solid suggestion indeed. requirements: lever action all weather finish, composite stock stainless or finish like on my marine magnum 10 round capacity max prefer .357 .38 + P why? Commonality across my arsenal. budget? Does it really matter? Yes, $1000.00 is a good number, the Henry comes in less than that. other features are just gravy.

tomsurf Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 And if the novex bullet comes available in 38/357 Tha will compare to a much larger caliber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whopper Bubba Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 The two best made are the Uberti in 1873 and 1892. I don't know if available in stainless. The other best is the Marlin IF made before they were bought out by Remington. The new Marlins and the Henrys are inferior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shb Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I saw a Winchester black shadow at a gun show last year. Might be worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rate Winchester, Marlin, Uberti, Henry in that order. I have at least one of each in various cal. None stainless. 45 is the top choice if you need game stopping power. 357 most fun to shoot.

webfoot44 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 After watching numerous videos I would go with the oh Uberti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybeach Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 The Uberti's look very pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whopper Bubba Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 If you want the final word in quality, look to what the Best Cowboy Action Shooters use. They only use the best as one jam can lose a World or National Championship. My shop owner's son is 26 years old and 11 times overall World Champion. He won it first at 14 years old. Why daddy owns a gun shop, you only shoot the best! He and the other top shooters only use 66 or 73 Uberti or a Marlin made before Remington bought them out. Current Marlins and all Henrys are substandard. Henrys look nice on the outside, but not on the inside. Winchesters and Brownings are both made by Maroku in Japan. Both are nice guns but not up to the quality of Uberti. Now 92's are cheaper but are slower in competition and just not competitive. Some are made in South America and are stainless and inexpensive at maybe $600-700. They also make one in 454 Casull which also can be chambered in 45LC. Anyways, that is the straight answer from the pros. Please NEVER listen to gun writers. They are simply PIMPS for the manufacturers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfoot44 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Some of the Cowboys shooters work those lever guns faster than most people can shoot a semi auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
