Ruger releasing new Marlins today

[palmettomoon]

I know it's the holidays so if anyone needs money I can spare a few hundred bucks for your JM Marlin lever guns. Since they are second rate now.

.357 magnum please

I want a .357... but I'd take a .44 mag assuming Ruger fixed the incorrect twist rate on the .44s. 1/38" was far too slow to stabilize 240 gr or heavier bullets reliably, and made a lot of the guns shoot pathetically with normal weight bullets.

My experiments with a JM Marlin in .44 couldn't beat 6" at 100 yards, with careful handloading. And that's awful in my opinion.

I've always been pleasantly shocked at the accuracy out of my Henry but I've always shot 225 gr FTX. Quick research suggests there was a change, at least in some of their models from 1:38 to 1:20. Now I have to figure out what the heck I have. Never thought about it before....

Hmmm, not crazy. After grabbing a. 357 Henry this last year I realized how much I like lever guns.

Looks like mine is pre change and is 1:38. Now I'm sure it'll start to shoot like feces. Thanks for nothing kuduman

I wish Ruger would make and sell a bolt action 30-30 that caught on and sold well. Ammo makers would be able to upgrade the bullet technology and ballistics. It might make the lever actions sell at lower prices. I love my Ruger 77 /357 bolt action rifle.
