I like the 86/71 and the 95 Marlins. I have a 358 Winchester in a BLR as well. I enjoy the bolt guns too. The marlin would suit me more if the Safety were gone. I can see the safety getting bumped on and then a Griz attacks. Be Well, RZ.
I posted this in the barrel length thread, but the cross-bar safety can be deleted. More than one place sells them. Here's a link to one.
