There's a new Marlin 1894 44 mag at Big 5 for $379.
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm thinking that is a good deal.
Should I get it?
Or, should I keep scrounging around pawn shops for a lower priced used one.
(It's my first lever gun. I've already decided on 44 mag to go with my S&W Model 29-2, as opposed to 30-30. It would be used for plinking and possibly a camp rifle. I don't hunt yet, but have plenty of rifles more powerful than 30-30 if I take up hunting. A 30-30 could always be my second lever action).
