What levergun would you like to see under your tree?

Post by oregon73 »

Just wondering what others have on their Christmas list..... Me, I was hoping Santa would bring a Trapper for me this year (any caliber), but I strongly suspect I'm on the wrong list. :shock: :D

An Uberti-made 1876 Centennial Saddle Ring Carbine in 45-60 WCF with a REAL color cased receiver and rust-blued barrel. While you are at it, throw in some deluxe walnut Baring that, I'd settle for an original Winchester to the same specs..... :shock:

Well, since Santa has endless means, I'll take a Marlin 1881 Deluxe, engraved, medium frame 38-55, with a mid-range vernier sight and a windage adjustable front globe.

An 1892 in .25-20. Not sure why, just that lately I've been thinking this cartridge looks like it would be a lot of fun! :D

A Model 71 would also be nice. So would a model 64 or a Model 53. I need these to round out the collection. :wink:

A '92 Win TD DeLuxe chambered for .44-40 with a 20" barrel and 2/3 Magazine...they actually made almost 10k of 'em between '95 and 1915. Need it to replace my Great Grandpa's that finally gave out a few years ago, the receiver cracked by the locking lug.

A tuned 26" M94 in 30 WCF with good wood, a steel Lyman, a limitless supply of of clean WW, and a few crates of primers and powder. Front sight to be figured out later.

I may spring for a new 336A and mount a Weaver 1x-3x on it to shoot the new copper ammo. Then convert my hunting rifles for silhouette use.

But I might not bother to get the new rifle, and just work with the guns I have. I'm thinking about it.

I really need fewer guns, and to shoot them more. But once they're sold, they're gone.

A 1970s era .444 Marlin I guess. A Marlin Cowboy with a 20" barrel would be nice.

I actually have one of them, sort of - the older ones with a bit longer barrel. The one thing I HATE about mine is that the scout scope mount is slightly off-center rotation-wise, and even when the screws are torqued down well, the thing shifts. There's supposed to be an indentation it keys onto with a set screw, but since it is off center, I tried making a new one but my precision machinist skills aren't good enough - so now it just tilts to the other side!

I'm not sure I really like a 'scout' scope anyway - the Bushnell Holosight is nice in that application, but can just as well be mounted further rearward on the ordinary side-attach scope mount.

Marlin guide gun in 45-70, or a Winchester 1876 in the same caliber. I'd take either one but I don't think it's going to happen this year

I couldn't ask for more than the 38-55 thats in the corner now. few people will ever know how the 94 Winchester was origanally made and this one in the second Year of production is certinaly an example of it.
