There is a very nice custom order Marlin 1881 up for auction on GunBroker. I have nothing to do with this gun, but thought some members might enjoy looking at the ad. Or maybe (?) even placing a bid.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!
I agree with a couple of you; it's not the type of gun I would likely buy (assuming I had the money); but it's a pretty ol' thing. Course you could tear the lever and some other "side" parts off and use it for a short fence-post !!
But then--would it qualify to be mentioned on the levergun forum?
Personally I'd prefer a non-engraved, non-checkered stock, straight wrist butt though I do appreciated the tang peep sight.
Some men like blondes in an evening gown driving a Mercedes. I've always been partial to brunettes in blue jeans driving a pickup truck.
