Yep, I used to love my Marlin .44. Had to sell for financial reasons, but would definitely get another if I could afford it. Same one in fact, perhaps with an octagonal barrel though.

I have a winchester trapper one of the first guns I bought with my compo after the pistol ban its still a favourite un fortunatelly I dont have a suitable range to shoot it on.
But its a keeper.

I'm fortunate to have 6! All Marlins....I have a "thing" for them.

An original 1894 in .32-20, an original 1897 in .22 made in 1906, an original 39 Octagon, again in .22, an original 336 Octagon in .30-30, an 1894 Cowboy in the "uber-rare" .32 H&R magnum and a limited production 1894P in .44 magnum.....

And, currently looking for original Marlins in .25-20, .38-40, .44-40, .38-55 and .45-70! Anyone rckon I'm becoming a little obssesive?!!

Are 'original' period lever actions still available or have they been priced out of the reach of mortals?

I have a Winchester 94 AE .3030win great for tippy toeing around the woods.

I am warming to them, what class of competition can they be used in and do they allow optical sights?

Ovenpaa, check out gallery rifle UK, all the regs are on there. They are a lot of fun but stick to Marlins, some Winchesters are dogs.

Bill Pink! He has been a nice chap to deal with in the past, thank you for reminding me. That is a very nice looking rifle as well.

Thanks Mike, I will take a look. I have a feeling Dangermouse actually shoots something like this in competitions.
