So I have a budget of 900 and want a lever action. Are the new Marlins any what decent? They have the mail in rebate. But I'd like some opinions! Thanks in advance

What caliber are you looking at
Senior Member
30-30 or 45-70 haven't decided. But the last time I shot a 45-70 I did catch the scope with my face. But mostly it'll get used for deer hunting. So with that said I guess I'd just like it to be of decent quality with enough stopping power for what I'll come across in region 3 and 8. Would a 30-30 take down a griz if necessary

I would get a BLR in .308 or 30.06. Sweet rifles.

I have a BLR and Marlin lever posted on here. Take the time to handle a Henry, smooth actions.

I've got a Marlin guide gun in 45-70- 4 power scope. Feels fantastic to carry in the bush.
When in doubt, just pin it.

Leave the 30-30's for the wives and girlfriends.
When in doubt, just pin it.

Or the .44 Remington is also on the table. But how insanely expensive is ammo for such a caliber

45-70 and never look back. A classic, with a variety of factory loads.
When in doubt, just pin it.
