.30-30 lever action choices?
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2013 6:01 am
A friend wants a .30-30 Lever. He's narrowed his choices to a Henry Big Boy, Marlin 336C or a Rossi. He asked me for advice and I just don't have the experience to help him in any significant way.
T'was me, I'd fork over the cash for the Henry just based on my experience with my Big Boy in .45LC. He would, but there's a significant price difference.
If he were going used (he's not) I'd tell him get an older Marlin and go hunting. Problem there is,I keep hearing rumors of quality issues with the new Marlins, so I'm just a touch leery of that.
And frankly, other than their popularity with the Cowboy Action crowd, I know nothing about Rossis.
Anybody with first-hand experience on the NEW Marlins and the Rossis care to chime in?
