Thread: 1970s lever guns 336 vs W94.

I think everyone knows I am a Marlin fan .
Nothing wrong with Winchester but I prefer the side eject , and the Marlins are easier to strip and maintain imo .
I think smoothness of action is as much about maintenance and amount of use than action design . A loose well used rifle will be smoother than a less used in either action .
The Marlins do seem to be fussy with ammunition as Micky said .

I have 3 Marlins , but no longer own any Winchester style actions
