I'm considering the purchase of a 45-70 Govt. in a lever-action rifle. As it stands, I prefer the Marlin models, over all others for my own reasons. Having said that...I might consider a Henry. :smiley_chinrub:
Here are my choices of Marlin rifles, in this order:
1. 1895 Cowboy 26" barrel.
2. 1895 Classic 22" barrel.
3. 1895 GBL 18.5" barrel. This is the "guide gun".
I'd like to hear your thoughts on:
A: Accuracy.
B: Recoil differences between stock styles (straight and pistol grip).
C: Reasons for your barrel length preferences.
As a last choice, is the Henry with the 18.5" barrel. The only problem I have with the Henry is the tube magazine loading method.
Thank you, Bowhunter57
