Another feature that I enjoy about the Marlin is Skinner Sights. Or a scope mount. Great precision sights easy to install on the Marlin. I have a Browning 92 in 44 and I enjoy the gun but the sights are rudimentary when compared to many of the receiver sights available for Marlins.

Don't get me wrong I love the Browning 92, but the Marlin with XS or Skinner sights really dials in the accuracy potential of the weapon.

Enjoy whatever carbine you purchase.
