My wife really loves her Marlin Lever action in .44 Magnum. We mounted a fairly nice 3x9x40 scope on it for her, and she's killed a Deer with it three out of the last three years. She likes those LeveRevolution Hornady soft ballistic tip bullets, but it shoots hollow points and flat soft points well also. And, yes it makes a good partner gun to my Ruger super Blackhawk in .44 mag too.
