I didn't pick it over the 45-70,the first lever action rifle I bought was the 45-70 last year. It is a 26" octagon tubular magazine barrel.Nice! Always wanted to explore the world of the 444 but just never pulled the trigger on one (literally and figuratively). Curious why you picked the 444 over the 45-70, i know there are differences but 444 brass is a little more scarce and bullets intended for those velocities in 44 a bit less common too.
Sweet rifle, congrats.
What's a 444 Add. ?, I know what 444 Marlin is, but not 444 Add., unless I'm misreading the thread title.
"Add"... added to my lever action rifle collection,that's what it mean's to me.What's a 444 Add. ?, I know what 444 Marlin is, but not 444 Add., unless I'm misreading the thread title.
I kinda figured that, however Add. could be short for Addison, something like 223 AI=223 Ackley Improved."Add"... added to my lever action rifle collection,that's what it mean's to me.
Lol nothing wrong with opinions!I kinda figured that, however Add. could be short for Addison, something like 223 AI=223 Ackley Improved.
My mistake earlthegoat2 it's a model .444..Is it an 1895 444 or is it just a 444?
Before the 1895 ever existed Marlin reworked the 336 action to fit this new cartridge they devised called the 444 Marlin.
