ITT: everything levergun
I'm in the market for a .22 and a .357/.38, my budget is $900 for the former, $1500 for the latter. Both guns would be mostly for plinking/LARPing, might use the rimfire for small game on a buddy's property, might use the centerfire as an HD gun because I live in ((New York))) and don't have my (((permit))) yet. I intend on outfitting both with peep sights and maybe a red dot for the centerfire.
>rimfire
For the .22 I was thinking of either a Browning BLR or a used Marlin 39A, leaning heavily towards the Marlin because it looks a hell of a lot easier to clean. Does anyone know if Ruger is going to bring the 39A back into production any time soon? Is anyone familiar with the Chiappa LA322? I've heard they're kinda chintzy but haven't handled one IRL. Thoughts on how the accuracy/smoothness compare between the two?
>centerfire
Winchester/Miroku 1892 vs 1873 vs Ruglin 1894. Which one does /k/ prefer? I've done some research and know that Marlin has a better warranty (although I doubt that a Miroku product will be troublesome) and that Ruger did a good job unfucking them, but I haven't handled any newer Marlin products recently to inspect fit and finish myself. Thoughts on accuracy, smoothness, reliability etc? Does anyone run a marble sight on an 1892, and does it interfere with the tang safety?
