    Marlin 336BL versus 1984SS

    Thanks all for the helpful & informative replies. I think that I'm going to go with the 336BL. I'll probably outfit it with some kind of ghost-ring sight. Any recommendations? Again, thanks. nero

    Marlin 336BL versus 1984SS

    I'm thinking about buying either a Marlin 336BL 30/30, or their 1894SS .44 Mag., and would appreciate some input/opinions concerning these two lever guns. I would use it for a SHTF rifle, and occasional boar hunting (I've never hunted boar before, but a friend has offered to take me.). Also...

    Convincing mom to let a .22LR in..

    -Get at least a PT job to pay for the .22, and to take her to the range to experience a .22 rifle/carbine herself. -Respect her wish, if she holds fast against. Barring some God-forbid, ugly luck, you'll have many years ahead that you can have as many firearms in YOUR place as you wish/can...

    Ultimate Single-Action for CCW

    I own a Ruger Montado .357 Magnum, though I don't use it for CCW. My Montado is a reliable, durable, well-made, and well balanced SA revolver. I've put a couple thousand rounds through it so far, and have dry-fired it countless times, and thus far no problems/failures. Mine shoots about 2" below...

    CZ VZ 58 Military Sporter -VS- Ohio Ordnance Works' VZ 2000?...

    I got the chance to handle a OOW's VZ 2000 rifle yesterday at a local gunshop and I was very impressed with it! It looked to be very well made/finished and felt great holding it. It's noticeably lighter and better balanced than an AK-47. Also, I loved the look of the wood-impregnated bakelite...

    Help me decide...

    OK, let me try to be more clear... I really like the looks of the Colt 1918 repro, but my middle-aged eyes probably won't like the small sights as much as the "better" new 70 Series sights. (Hell, I may even think about an older minty cond. 70 Series Gold Cup for that matter.) The S&W 945...
