A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Nice. I really like the looks and balance of those half mag levers. Wish my 1894 .44 were such

Those Skinner sights are an excellent addition. I put them on my "94 last year. I am considering them for my 10/22.

That's a beauty, bea. I love those old Marlin 94's, and especially in .44 mag. Been trying to buy one particular example off a friend of mine for years.

The 1894 is the best of the Marlin Lever Guns other than the Model 39 22

I put Skinner sights on my 1894 in 44 mag and I love'em. I just can't see buckhorn sights well anymore. The 1894 is a blast to shoot. I shoot it more than my bolt rifles now.

Bob,
As you know the 1894 "Sporter" model is a rare rifle in .44
I have only seen a few..all of them in pictures.

She smiles all the time. Must be insane. Or she found the wine I just bought.

Smiles and calls me A hole.
