Thread: 1970s lever guns 336 vs W94.

Should be able to pick up a 336 of that vintage for around $700 in good condition. IMO the 336 is superior for the reasons you've already stated, smoother, better trigger and more versatile. Downside is the microgroove barrels don't like cast lead if that's your thing. The Winchesters are still good but do hold their value and are obviously a bit more expensive.
