any one like to pull out the SA's and have some fun? i shoot a ruger bisley 45LC and the little .22LR/mag ruger revolver. at first i thought the recoil would be a bitch but the bisley is so heavy you don't feel that much. i've riden horses and shot handguns but i don't see how they ever did both at the same time. i've been looking at some lever action carbines and wondering if anyone has some marlin vs. winchester advice.

The Marlin is a better gun in my opinion. It has a stronger lock up and fewer small, moving parts. I had a Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70 and loved it. It spat fire from every oriface forward the reciever. It is nice to know you have a weapon that fires bullets that almost weigh an ounce.
