Welcome to the forum 44man. Rules are simple, be nice and join in.

Sounds like you've got a good one. I've havn't owned a lever action since around 1960 when I traded off the old 94 Win my dad gave me for a bolt action gun. Got to admit after my first magnum I never understood you lever guys. As I've grown older I'm still a bolt guy, but I got to admit some of those lever guns are impressive. I do handle one ever once in a while when at the gun shop. I really liked the feel of that new Marlin guide gun in 45-70.

Welcome new guy. I have a ’94 in .44 mag. It has a Williams Foolproof receiver sight and a XS systems post front sight. It shoots nicely, but I don’t use it much. I am a cowboy competitor and shoot my ‘94s in .45 Colt and .357 much more. The ’94 slicks up very nicely and all of mine are very accurate.
