A timely article on the 1895 and differences between the 18.5 inch barrel of the guide versus the 22" barrel. http://www.realguns.com/articles/862.htm Spoiler: go with the 18.5". |

I never gave any thought to having a shorter barrel and I used it chasing dogs throughout western Washington. It was pretty handy. I doubt that I would ever put a scope on a Marlin 1895. I used to use something like 50 grains of IMR 4198 and a Hornady 350 RN in it when I first got it. I ruined more than a few bruins w/it. The big thing is the bullet is not staying in a bear and it is too easy to kill a dog w/that bullet. It would be a great bullet for elk or moose though. |

I shot my first deer with a model 94 30-30. Then several deer right after that with a model 99 300 savage. I still have the savage. I've always wanted a BLR. Love the lever guns! |

I shoot my Grandad's 1948 Winchester Model 94 30-30 for deer. |
