New Marlin 1894

[Bald1]

I have done enough autopsies on deer perforated with 158 Factory Federals chronoed at 2000 fps, to refrain from calling a357 rifle “Underwhelming”.

Short Range maybe. But not underwhelming in my book. Just my opinion. Feel free to have your own opinion.

I don’t understand. Ruger came out with the 336 first. They’re still available, I think.

I was thinking the same thing.

Anybody have trouble cycling 38spl through their 357s ? A friend of mine swears his Henry can’t get through a tube without a malfunction

I recently got a second 1873 chambered in .357 Magnum. That action just doesn’t care what length the cartridge is or what shape the bullet is because the lifter goes straight up.

Neither of the Marlins 1894s I’ve had in .44 Magnum liked .44 Special at all. (Early 1970s pre-safety and new Mayodan made) I would guess the same is true for .357 Magnum. The difference is .44 Special costs more and .38 Special is cheap.
