The Rossi rifles can be a lot of fun and use a very strong action but it is worth having the whole picture and. You can fit a Williams, Lyman, Skinner, etc hunting backsight and with a 3/8" rail you could fit pretty much any low profile target backsight.

It is also my understanding that Remington has reversed a 1970s' economy move to forged cartridge lifters for the 336 series rifles, going back to machined lifters.ĭo not forget that the Marlin is an ideal rifle for peep backsights. My understanding is that there may have been some issues resulting from the move and initial worker unfamiliarity but that Marlin rifles are now being made to tighter tolerances than before the Remington purchase. I don't suppose you have a picture of yours you could upload do you? What sort of accuracy do you get out of your Winchester, at 50 and 100 yards, both with open sights, and scoped? I think I'll probably end up going down the same road as you with open sights, it's more a "Just in case" type of thing. In hindsight, it was only one persons view, so maybe he had a rogue gun? Mainly as I overheard a conversation at the range, where one person, who was new to the under lever scene, and he was really slating Winchesters build quality, and traded it in within weeks of ownership due to being plagued with cycling issues.
Thanks Albert, I suppose I hadn't really thought of a Winchester. Shot a normal marlin and didn't really notice much difference, well not enough to warent paying double the price. Mine shoots very well and would recommend an older winchester 94 ae. I tried it with a scope but much prefer the open sights,now has a Williams rear peep sight, drop down v notched mid week sight and a finer front blade sight. In the end I bought underdogs old 38Special-357magnum it's a winchester 94 legacy angle eject it came with weaver mounts for a scope. But over the past couple of years they have rocketed in price. I too was after a marlin,I wanted the long octagonal barrel one and wanted to fit a scope. If I were to go for a used model, what are the signs to look out for, to avoid buying a nail?Īny construction advice would be appreciated.ĮDIT - Just to add that after a post from Albert 888, I'm also considering A Winchester to, so again, any pro's and con's would be appreciated. I appreciate that won't be to everyone's taste, and spoils the lines of the rifle, but I'd at least like the option. Just to point out, I'd prefer to have a side ejection, so if I wanted to, I could mount a small scope. Is that just hype by purest, or have they really gone down hill? I've been advised that if I go with a Marlin, I should make sure it is stamped "JM". I've read that since 2007 Marlin rifles are owned and made by Remington, and that the quality control has "gone down the pan". 357 Magnum, but some advice and/or observations from previous or current owners on the pro's and con's of these rifles, would be appreciated. I've started reading up on the various versions in the. I may play it same, and go for a new model, unless a decent "honest" rifle comes along.
The purpose of the rifle is, both for "target shooting" and a little vermin control.
