The older Marlins, even the Remlins, have 1-38” twist barrels, which may be an issue for some. I forgot to check that when I looked at this one, but 1-20” is kinda standard now. My 1885 Browning, about 30 years old now, maybe older, is a 1-20”.
I have read several times that the Marlin 44 Mag rifles, with their twist rate, will not stabilize the heavier .429" bullets.
But that was a while ago, and I cannot recall what the actual problematic twist rate was. Do you know if that was the 1/20" or a 1/38"?
On the Marlin website, it appears that they are all 1/20" now, unless I missed something.
