I appreciate the feedback on the Model 94, for now I passed on it. Preferably I’d like a model 92 in .357 if I’m buying a Winchester or clone.
I did end up with a Marlin 1895 GBL for “pre-Covid” pricing and may end up with a second more desirably configured 1895. If that happens I’ll probably let the GBL go. When it rains it pours I suppose, I’ll post some pictures as time allows. This is the most excited I’ve been about a new to me gun in a while.
