The Marlin 1894CL .32-20: a fun little gun in a fun little chambering
This modern version of the old 1894 has a 22″ barrel and a short magazine tube holding six rounds. The stock is a straight-grip style with the normal good quality Marlin walnut used in both butt stock and forearm. The action contains a hammer block safety and, like all Marlins, is easily scoped.
Marlin’s stainless .44 Magnum
Now we have a stainless steel lever action Marlin Model 1894 SS, and this just may be the ideal woods rifle. The material is the main thing to distinguish this model from other Marlin .44s. It’s compact with a 19.5-inch barrel and straight grip stock with 14-inch length of pull. These dimensions fit most folks and I found the little carbine to handle with ease.

Levergun loads: the .444 Marlin
If simply looking for a big bore levergun cartridge that would readily handle anything in North America short of the big bears, the choice would be a .444 Marlin. Come to think of it, even with the big bears included this would not be such a bad choice.
Handloading the .444 Marlin
The .444 Marlin fills an important shooting niche. It does with a 300 gr. bullet what the .45-70 accomplishes with a 400 gr. bullet. Accompanying recoil is, of course, significantly less. Hornady, Sierra and Speer all now offer 300 gr. bullets suitable for use in the .444 Marlin. Accuracy with them is superb.
The .450 Marlin: A Magnum in Disguise
The new cartridge, called the .450 Marlin, may not bear a magnum label, but it still gives magnum-style performance.
