Had a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag. Fine rifle. Put a Lyman aperture rear sight on it. With Rem. 240 gr. JHP's it would produce five shot groups the size of a silver dollar at 50 yds. At 100 yds., it would keep a full magazine under 4 inches. Foolishly when I no longer was doing a lot of swamp/heavy woods hunting, I let it go. Now... I'm back to heavy woods. My M-1 Garand works well, but I do have a longing for another one of those .44 Mag. Marlins!
