The new Winchesters are top notch. And I'm a pre 64 guy. You can't go wrong with either one. I'm not just a guy that owns a lever action. I'm a lever action guy. To hell with bolt guns. laugh


The new marlins are nicer looking IMO. I like the way they function a little better. The Remlin stocks are a bit fatter than the older Marlin stocks. Other than that, I like the Marlin and the Winchester. They're still cool rifles!

Camp is where you make it.
