How about this:

.22LR
32 H&R
30/30
444 Marlin

By the way, when I touch off this 444 for the first time with a Hornady LM factory load, it is going to rearrange my sinuses?

Sounds like a good battery although I've never had a 30-30 I really liked. I just can't get them to shoot for me. I do prefer the larger bores, and the 444 is a favorite. It shouldn't loosen your fillings too much, just hold the rifle firmly and pull it into your shoulder. Get or borrow a Past recoil pad or place a towel between the butt and your shoulder if you have any qualms. I won't quite say that recoil can be your friend, but I know a few guys that say it's better than coffee to get them started in the morning.

Well you have a good start going. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Mine is more like
22LR
357
44 Mag
45 Colt
30-30
35 Rem
45-70
I wouldn't say this on the Marlin Forum but the 444 works pretty well for most things. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Recoil can depend on load but I'd shoot it a few times standing up. Many of the levers could actually stand to have a good recoil pad added. I put a Pachmayer Decelerator in my 45-70. It helps. After you fill
in the holes next will come the duplications. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

Mine are
.22LR
.44 Mag
45-70
450-348 AI
Like to have a 30-30 just never got to it.

How about Win 71 348, Win 55 30-30 TD, pre-64 Win 88 308, Win 1886 45-70, Win 9422, pre-64 Win 64 30-30, pre-64 Win 94 30-30, Marlin 444ss, 336, Savage 1926 TD, and Savage EG from 1953? Think I forgot 1-2. Oh well. If the Hornady light mag stuff won't rattle your fillings, I'll give you some 444 loads that will---2MG

I'm embarrassingly behind everyone here with a battery of just one. It's an old .219 Zipper Marlin.

My dad's one of the crustiest bolt action men you'll ever meet and he's already doing better than me with a .30/30 centennial rifle and an M71 .348Win ::O

Win 94 Trapper 30-30. It is my summer backpacking gun that fits out of sight in my pack so the granola chewers don't freak out when I walk by them on the trail.

I'm losing my lever collection, but I was offered way too much money for my Savages and was having with my Brn blr.

I meant to say that I was having problems with my blr and I was offered 650.00 for my Marlin with a 3x Leupold.

I'm the simple type... I have a .22lr and a couple-a .30-30's. I haven't run into anything I couldn't kill with a .30-30 down here in Arkansas...But my neighbor's kid does have that big 4X4 truck???

I am also in the single battery group. 1899-A Savage in .303SAV. Dad has a Pre-64 model 94 in 30-30 I hope to have one day

Ah ha! The truth comes out at last.

A 45-70 shooter who admits (though not on the marlin board!) that the 444 is pretty good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


Well, you got a pretty good collection there. I want to get the 22 and 22 Mag versions. Mine currently consists of:

30 carbine (model 62)
44mag (model 1894)
45 Colt (model 94 winchester)-unfired! someone make me an offer so I can buy a Marlin, PLEASE!!!
444 Marlin (model 444s)
450 marlin (model 1895M)

Now, the interesting thing is that I have a single action revolver in the same caliber to go with each, including :

Ruger Blackhawk 30 carbine
Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 Mag
Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt/45 ACP (interchangable cylinders)
BFR in 444 Marlin
BFR in 450 Marlin


Are the ever going to offer a matched set in 500 S&W?

Mine are:

Marlin 1895M Guide Gun (450 Marlin) ported.
Marlin 1895MR (450 Marlin) 22" barel
Marlin 1895 Cowboy (45-70)
Winchester 1895 (405) this one is unfired and has the pretiest rainbow case hardening I've ever seen. I'm contemplating on whether I ought to scope this one or not.

Phil

Got too many to count, but not too many to shoot....

6 Savage 99's in various calibers and models
4 Winchester 92's
5 Marlins from an 1889 to a 336 Cowboy in 38-55

One of these? ........ Winchester Models 150 & 250

A buddy of mine had a Model 250 when we were kids, and he killed a mess o' critters with that thing, around the family farm. Some of 'em on the wing, too, as I remember. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Good times.

Certainly not a battery but if i could, i would own a couple of hundred or so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Walker,

Due to the collective knowledge of this place even dumbazzes like me can know what they own! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I've got the 250, really sweet little rifle, but I leave it back at my mom's. The woods on my grandparents farm, now mine and my sisters (at least the 100 acres that are left) that little rifle was pretty much my constant companion. My dad gave me that rifle for my 12th birthday.

I don't get back there as much anymore, and when I do gram and gramps are no longer there, but that little rifle is there and waiting to transport me back in time, a little, skinny 12 year old with his chest all puffed up cause he walked the woods armed and immediately moved him up the food chain because of it.

I could feed a passel of folks if I had all the cotton tails, and red and gray squirrels I shot with that thing laid out on one table.

To this day whether there on that 100 acres or in the middle of nowhere in the Brooks Range, I can find the place inside of me that is calm, still and contented with a good rifle in hand whether in timber or high on a rocky outcropping.
