don't listen to the Savage guy's. i want them all!
i have and do collect anything with a lever( Fireball2 calles me a lever slut and i admit it);
the advice on the .002 over bore for the micro grooved barrels is spot on.
also the advice to hunt your current marlin is very sound. pay attention and you will keep it clean.
i have a 1980 winchester 375 big bore that is 99% that i have taken many deer, 3 bear, and 3 elk with. most in Oregon years ago in typical nasty Willamette Valley weather
i have never had a micrgroove rifle that wouldn't shoot close to an inch with a little tickling .
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
