Re: Looking for first lever action rifle

I would make my first lever gun a Marlin 336 in the classic 30-30 caliber. Possibly the stainless version. It is a high quality firearm that will out last you, and everyone on this forum. And the 30-30 will kill much better that a 357 at farther ranges. You cant go wrong with a Marlin. :D Thanks 38...
