First impressions, i cycled it with snap caps and locks up tight, cycles smooth and trigger is good. Balance is sweet, fit and finish great.

.357. I can wait to shoot it, its raining here and it wont clear up for me to hit the range or hunt.

This rifle is excellent though, and the last run of new haven guns, unfortunately. Cerebus is transferring marlin and HR guns to a new plant, which is supposedly going to have lower quality. I love the feel and it will be a fun and inexpensive shooter, .38 and .357 are easy to buy at good prices.

I got my Marlin 1894CS (.357 Magnum) for my 16th birthday in 1984. It was brand new. It's still with me. Great little carbine. One of my favorites.And evidently they are now going to go up in value with the recent developments. Who knew?

Mine was about 550 with tax, which is about 17% when state and federal are added. Love it. Very well cut checkering in stock, nice looking wood, immaculate bluing, the balance and feel........I want to shoot it!

I know what my top choice will be if I ever decide to get a lever action...

Act soon, or look for used new haven guns if you shop in future. I ind marlins to be great, much better action and fit/finish than winchesters. The winchester 94 action has noticeable slop, the marlin doesn't.

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)
