I have the shorter of the two Marlin lever guns - Best brush gun I can think of. Can be reasonably compared to a 30-30 wrt range expectations, but with a lot more weight in the air, there is really zero chance of deflection, even in heavy brush... And the stopping power is extraordinary, a quality that is worthy of great measure when one is walking in Griz country.

But it kicks like a Missouri mule. I am thinking of extending the tube in order to install mercury load balancing in the end of the tube and in the stock... A buddy of mine has done this, and his gun is a pleasure to shoot (comparatively).

Has anyone chambered a lever action for the .50 S%W?

If they haven’t I bet someone will.
