I just had to let the world know i bought a marlin 1894p today at a local show. I have been searching for a year for one used or new but found one at a show. Two of my friends have one and i have been envious, now i have one. What a great little rifle. I can hunt deer or hogs with this baby.

Congratulations! Hope its all you want it to be. Have fun experimenting with different loads, especially if your'e a handloader. :)

I bought mine last year and this is the first year I will be taking mine deer hunting here in PA. I placed a 4x20 burris scope on it using Warne mounts. The thing is quite accurate with .432 sized cast BTB. A nice light rifle with quite a bit of knock down power, GOOD CHOICE!
