just have to reply to this . . .

WTF . . . the screws all unscrew themselves in a Marlin, BS

granted they are heavier . . its not outrageously heavy, they have a good balance to them.

the triggers are slushy . . . No leveraction has a great trigger, i would say they are all about the same, they need work.

the lever throw is too long . .. really

doesnt look like theres a Huge difference
unless you want to compare a straight grip to a pistol grip . . which would be unfair and misleading

there is a reason Winchester stopped being made in the US . . hardly anyone wanted to actually buy them

this poll is from castboolits.com which to me gives a fair indication of how people vote with their checkbooks, the Marlins are nearly twice as popular as Winchesters with the Rossi only getting just over 7%



as to comparing the .30/30 with a 7X57 in a later post . . . and the slogan ' be the man you want to be ' give us a break
