I have a Cabela's credit card which has rewards points. My rewards points have finally reached the level where I can purchase a new rifle. Two strong contenders are the Marlin 444 and the Marlin 45/70 long barrel "Cowboy". Both are lever actions.
Anyone own either or both of these or have any opinions on usefullness, quality or anything else in general.
I do own one Marlin rifle, a 22 lever action so I am somewhat familier with the brand.
I'm not in a huge rush and may not go with either of these, another option simply waiting another year or two and continuing to build up rewards points for something else.
I'm not a collector, just a hunter and sometimes shooter that tends to like more unusual calibers and styles. Obviously, I'm partial to lever actions. With Savage and now Winchester out of the picture, that pretty much leaves Marlin unless I luck into a used rifle that I like.
