    • @languagesource355
      @languagesource355 Год назад +2

      Great point. Some of them even tell you in the manual: "it's not a lubricant, it's a factory preservative". It needs to be cleaned off. Personally I hate that stuff. For some reason they even put it on stainless and nitride-finished steels and aluminum :)

    • @PhuVet
      @PhuVet Год назад +2

      Yeah, they don't oil them at the factory, they spray them with an anti-rust agent that really doesn't do anything for lubrication. The R95 is a very different rifle when you take it apart and clean all of the garbage out of it from making it. Then lubricate it with some Lucas gun oil. I have already swapped marlin stock sets on a Rossi this week. My customers hate that texture. It's a laser cut stippling that's just strange feeling and detracts from the looks. I'm waiting on rpp stuff to put on one rifle and putting a nice set of xs sights on another. I ordered mine yesterday, it should be here Saturday or Monday. I'm going to form 1 it and cut it to the magazine tube and thread it. It's going to be a fast hog hunting rifle with a red dot. I'll use it for deer too. I have a Glenfield I setup for subsonic rounds and I cut that one to 11in and threaded it. It has a very lightweight carbon fiber rail I made from a lancer handguard. It wears an osprey and an ir laser. I use it for night hog hunting and it's laser only, no sights.

    Since my JM Marlin’s are now worth > $1,000 based on local prices in gun shops (what a joke), i have decided to retire them and avoid scratches and dings. So I bought the Rossi R95 Carbine as a Jeep gun and i put a Williams peep sight and a red fiber optic front post on it. Budget rifle meet budget ammo - it prefers Win 170gr Power Points over Fed and Rem 150gr rounds. At 100yds - with a hot barrel and my 55 yr old eyes - it shot 2” groups with the Win 170grs. It shot slightly worse with the 150gr loads and they printed about 2” higher (no surprise there). It shoots as well as my Marlin 336s with 20” barrels and the same Williams Peep Sights, so for the money it’s a good deal. I can’t imagine a new $1,300 Ruglin / Marger 336 would shoot any better - esp with iron sights.

    Nice to see Rossi come out with a Marlin 336 pattern. I have a couple of 92's from some years back in revolver calibers and like them. Would be nice to see a Win94 pattern in 30-30 as well. I've wanted a Rossi in 45-70 for years but eventually came across a Henry. They now have side-gate models of 95/336-pattern lever in 45-70 and 30-30 (and probably others). I bought my Henry H010G side-gate 45-70 (basically a Marlin 1895 pattern, at least externally) for $850 from a retailer last year. It wasn't any kind of sale or clearance, either. I was surprised and glad I didn't think twice. Beautiful American walnut furniture with real checkering (not pressed-in). Also Henry doesn't have the cross-bolt safety, but it is drop-safe and can be safely carried with a hammer down on a live round (but no half-cock, it's just either cocked or safe). That's handier in a hunting rifle, IMHO. And has a nice recoil pad, which the 45-70 definitely benefits from. Taurus/Braztech's customer service is really unacceptable from my experience. I'd say, if the price is right, Rossi lever actions can be a great gun, I'd just consider it like a used purchase, where you'll have to handle any potential service by yourself (or pay a smith), then you'll avoid any regrets or disappointments. I'm glad to see a budget option for a 336-pattern. Would be nice if they made a Win94 pattern in 30-30 too. And a 45-70, of course!

      @@scotteger6271 admittedly, a few years ago. But I've watched the "revolver recall" saga closely and plenty of people were very unhappy. FWIW I have a Rossi revolver and a couple of Taurus revolvers - Model 44 and Model 66 and no issues with any of them. I like them for the money I paid (all were bought used except Model 44, which only cost me $500 total, new in box). I don't like any of the stock grips and it's not easy to find nice replacements. The value is still there, IMO. I met an old-timer at deer camp, maybe in his 70's. He had an old Marlin rifle, but for a sidearm had a 38 Special Taurus and was happy with it. I trust his judgment.

    Looks pretty nice. If I don’t score this older Mossberg 464 in 30-30 I might have to buy one of these. The new Ruger made Marlins are nice but the bump above MSRP that they’re currently selling for is off putting. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the Henry’s. They look nice but for every good review I hear/read, I find one where the wood to metal fit was poor or the rifle wouldn’t group…so makes it tougher to want one of those. I was eyeing an All Weather for a while but couldn’t buy it because of the uncertainty.

Gun shops are charging the higher price because people are buying them. I refuse to pay that for a Marlin anything…but there are people that just have to have them and can’t wait so they’ll pay that price. Same thing was happening with vehicles during COVID…people were paying $15k over sticker price for a Bronco…no thanks.

I think if Ruger keeps producing them, prices will normalize. Ruger is known for sturdy guns at fair prices, at least they used to be :) Old Marlins were fine rifles and then a lot of people were really disappointed with the "Remlin" era guns, so with Ruger taking over there must've been some pent up demand, plus it was hyped by a number of youtubers. Right now Henry really are a great option. If I hadn't bought my 30-30 stainless Remlin, i'd probably be looking for a 30-30 Henry side gate.

    Your shooting, from a bench no less, is pathetic, get someone to do that for you, or get taught. Any lever gun, regardless of age or brand should shoot 2" to 3" groups at 100yds all day long. The wind present when you were shooting was worth about 1 minute, constant, and would not make for larger groups, but the groups would be either right or left. Please redo this video, it has merit but very sloppy in its present form, and could you talk faster please.

      Everyone is going to have an opinion but it really boils down to where you hunt and how you hunt. I live in Pennsylvania and the particular part of the state where I reside has someone pretty dense woods. Shot opportunities are less than 100 yards in most places, heck less than 75 yards to be honest. Having a short, handy rifle with minimal recoil makes working your way through the briars/thickets easier. Very common here to see 30-30 or 45-70 levers.

      I think Rossi is part of Taurus. No major complaints about Rossi or Taurus from my experience, but didn't like the little customer service interaction that I had. Basically non-existent. Plus the revolver recall saga. I'd say, if you like and the price warrants it, just consider them a used gun with no service. No disappointments then. For the right price they can be a really nice gun.

      The new Ruger made Marlins are going for about $500 over MSRP, so if you want one buy one…I’ll be waiting or looking elsewhere for a lever action.

      @@scotteger6271 I have 2 Henry lever actions - a 22lr from Walmart for $290! - and a 45-70 Side Gate. They are both very well made, beautiful American walnut furniture, good bluing, even if not pre-64 Winchester-good. Excellent fit and finish. Already comes with sling studs. Zero complaints, actually. Sights are coarse, especially on the 22, but that's also "traditional". There are upgrades available. And I ended up putting a scope on the 45-70 anyway. I stumbled on the 45-70 last year for $850, even though I've seen them for well over a grand and was giving up on the idea of grabbing a sub-grand 45-70. And yes, Henry 45-70 will handle the hot "+P" loads for "modern lever actions", like you can get from Underwood (just not the Ruger No. 1 levels). I think the 30-30 versions are a bit cheaper and more available. If you get a chance to handle one, give it a try, you might like them. There's no half-cock, but also no external cross-bolt safety. It's just drop-safe and can be safely carried with a hammer lowered on a chambered round. I think it has something similar to Ruger's revolver transfer bar or S&W revolver hammer safety. I think it's ideal for a hunting rifle. And yet you can still unload via the loading mag tube. Best of both worlds. Plus, Henry offers all-weather finishes, but that probably costs more.

      Then why are you watching a channel called KYGUNCO and a review of a gun?
