Everyone knows that Cadillac builds a nicer car than a Chevy or a Ford and many would say that Lexus is even better than a Cadillac. The theme being........... you generally get what you pay for.... but not always!
That said, when I bought my last pistol a few months ago I noticed a really nice looking lever action rifle which turned out to be a .22 Henry and had a brass mid section or receiver. Since then I have been looking around whenever I go down to Phoenix. My problem is that since finding the Henry and heeding some advice given on this forum, I have started looking at other brands and there are so many rifles to choose from!
The other day I sat down for a few hours surfing the web and came with a list of likes that included such guns as......
Rossi 92 - http://www.rossiusa.com/product-details.cfm?id=205&category=8&breadcrumbseries=&search=r92
Marlin 1894 - http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/1894centerfire/1894.asp
Win 1892 - http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/catalog/detail.asp?family=022C&mid=534190
Marlin 1894 - http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/1894centerfire/1894deluxe.asp
Browning 92 - http://www.*********.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=458972500
I don't hunt so the only firm requirement is for it to be a 44 magnum that I can enjoy shooting at the range. I know there are differences between the above guns and I have one question.......... I'm sure there must be a "pecking order" amongst these brands as to which have the smoother actions and have a reputation as being well built. I envision myself spending a nice afternoon of shooting so a smooth lever action would be high on the list regardless if it were top or side ejecting.
Any thoughts you wish to share or advice as to which to have a closer look at if I walked into a well stocked gun shop that dozens to choose from? I absolutely hate taking advice from a salesman!
