Very timely thread. I’m looking for a pistol caliber carbine length lever gun and have learned a lot from reading this thread. Years ago, I had a Savage 99C in .308 Win that was my primary whitetail gun when I used to hunt. Loved that gun, but let it go to pay some bills that came up unexpectedly. I like what I’m reading about the Marlin 336 and I’m considering a Henry in .327 Fed Mag...decisions...decisions.
