We had a Brazilian (IGA/Stoeger) side-by-side 20 gauge on the farm that was superb. Always went "Bang!" when you pulled the trigger, always splattered shot in the right direction, and looked good doing it. I hated to sell it, but moving to a little house "in town" saw it's need disappear.

One would hope not. I'm not fond of their government or environmental policies.
Right now, I'm not fond of the USA's government or environmental policies either - but I'd still buy an American gun.

To put it another way - What's your point?

"Because I always wanted one" is a fine reason, the same reason I used to get my Springer 1911. I researched a lot, handled a lot, talked to folks, then got it. I do like a lever. Have a nice Marlin. Yours looks pretty sweet.

Getting what one wants after having long wanted it is strongly under rated, I say. Doesn't happen often, but when it does it's sweet.

If you really ever need more from that beauty check this out from Buffalo Bore.
Make special note of the Marlin 1894, 18.5-inch barrel velocities. Item 19C/20 supersedes 30-30 energies!!!

Thanks, all, for the kind words and suggestions.

On the road today so I missed much of the discussion. It is a rare treat to finally get something you’ve been jonesing for for years. I’ll let you know how wide my smile is after I shoot it.

The Buffalo Bore stuff looks interesting. I may need to order some.

You all are very special.
