UPDATE:
I went to Whittaker Gun's on Saturday (08/19/06) and they had the Marlin 1894CB in 32 H&R magnum in stock, checked them out and purchased one, priced at $567.99 before tax.
Heavy octagon barrel, loads the tube magazine like the rimfire instead of a loading gate.
I had both Federal loads, 85gr JHP C32HRB and 95gr LSWC C32HRA, and it fed both perfectly. Due to heat and humidity I only fired at 50 yards. I was getting 1" groups, 3 shots but was having to stop and clean my glasses every shot.
I also had some reloads (my first) and they worked well also, not as powerful as the factory loads but close.
This round and rifle is not for everyone but it has grabbed my attention hard and I like the round , the rifle and my revolver.

P.S. This round is the reason I started reloading.
