The marlin 1894, 1893 and 36 look so much better than the 336 and "1895"**The current 1895s are just large frame 336s that they named 1895 after the old 1895 which were large frame 1893/1894sIt's a shame the 336 became the meta. The Winchester 1873 also looks way better than the JMB designed Winchesters, but I recognize the massive advantages the JMB guns have in terms if weight and strength and how smoothness and fire rate was never actually a practical concern outside of cowboy action shooting
>>65613155I hate the look of the fat forend they went to for the model 1936 onwards If I ever buy one it's getting filed down to look like pic rel
>>65613168fat forend is comfy
>>65613174I know it probably is, i just cant get over the looksI like slim and svelte guns
>>65613155All those guns you listed, look exactly the same to me. Seems to me you’re just splitting hairs.
>>65613213the receiver looks completely different, blindoid. how do you even type without eyes?
>>65613168I want to put one of those sights on my winchester
>>65613234nice
>>65613234A side-mounted sight that screws into the receiver would be a far more practical choice for most applications.Tang mounted sights kinda suck, they're very fragile and the slightest impact will ass rape your zero.They're only useful on black powder rifles where the sights need to be elevated to ridiculous heights to compensate for the rainbow-like trajectories of big bore black powder cartridges.
>>65613234>>65615336the tang mounted peeps are better if you're exclusively target shooting because they put the peep closer to your eye. the receiver mounted ones are better for hunting, because as you say, they're not in the way and not as finicky.If you look at target rifles with iron sights or like shootzen rifles they usually have the rear sight as far back and close to the shooter's eye as possible
The 336 is a blight on lever actions. Wish it never came to be.
>>65615616same
>>65615616I dont think theres anything wrong with it in its original form. Sometimes a scoped 30-30 thats strong enough for bubbas pissin hot handloads is nice. But the ugly stainless and grey laminate guns with huge picatinny rails so you can larp as le heckin cool dinosaur man is what made em gay
>>65618106the one piece receiver looks gayer than the 2 piece
>>65618111I agree it doesnt look nearly as refinedAnd is it actually a two piece receiver or is it just the geometry of the ejection "slot"
