I always see Marlins at gun shows, so I'll probably be able to find a used one (if I ever decide to get another lever action)

I saw some used ones but they didnt have checkered stocks and were not a much cheaper. They were about 500. I mean i know they hold value well but that for a used? Ill just buy new.

I find that online and in my area (maybe not yours), you can get Winchester made '94s for around 300 dollars, so when I get some spare scratch that isn't going toward another gun or gear, I'm going to buy one in .30 WCF just to have.

You don't really see them out here for some reason. I thingk the most common guns around these parts are surplus rifles, hunting guns and ARs with anything else being significantly harder to find

The 94 doesnt impres sme, the wood quality is poor, although they are a decent gun the marlin wipes the floor with it. I want to get a 686 p, and send to clark custom for some work (moon clip conversion, action job, chamfering) and then ill have aawesome carbine and wheelgun in same caliber.

I also want a sphinx 3000 pistol but that will be hard, them not having an importer and all.

I don't know of any quality differences, but I like having the name on the gun and the lower price. I'm also referring to older Winchesters and not current production ones, if they still make the 1894 at all. I might consider getting one in .357 to go with my Model 19, but it'd also be nice to have one in a genuine rifle caliber (.30 WCF) as well. Decisions, decisions.

686 doesn't need any extra work. Smoothest revolver besides the Model 19 that my Grandfather and father have ever used, and they are Colt guys

I love the trigger on my 686. It's just right for me
