What do you think of Marlin rifles???
As I've posted here on the community tackle board, I am looking for a lever action 357 mag. rifle. I have found a source to get a Marlin new rifle for around $400, but not too sure of the quality of the Marlin rifles. Just looking for some views good or bad.
Thank you!!!
Danny

I have never owned one, but a few of my buddies like them, say they make good rifles, at aleast .22 calibers.

Nothing wrong with a Marlin rifle. In my opinion as dependable as they get. I have a 336 in 30/30 and love it. I shoot with open iron sights and no scope. But I do remove the canopy from the the front sight.

Marlin rifles are very good guns. I was in Alaska for seven years, I carried the Marlin 45/70 guide gun for back up when bow hunting up there. It was a lever action, no problems feeding the big round. The 357 will shoot up to 100 yards easy with open sights. Good brush gun!!
