So I recently traded for an almost mint condition Marlin 1894 CS chambered in 357Mag. This is my first lever action and has possibly sparked a new found love. The previous owner said it had been fired less than 10 times and I likely tripled that amount over the weekend. It was an absolute blast to shoot. If I can't get a deer during bow season or while hunting on private ground, there is a good chance this will be my new deer gun. Last years obsession was ARs and now its old cowboy guns.
