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 just put an o-ring on the safety. Keeps it on fire, and I used the half cock for a safety. It is a bad idea for a safety the way marlin designed it.
