Actually, I already have a .308 lever action - my 88 Winchester, and it has done me very well. I would like to see a Marlin 336 adapted to clip feed in .358.... I would not hesitate to take on the big bears even with that!

None of those calibers particularly interest me in a lever gun. Calibers I would like to see are .25/35 and .500 S&W.

Tim-

Sounds like a Browning BLR. Have one in 358 and .223 - both very nice rifles.

Tim,
Have you seen Marlins new and improved website? They are asking what calibers everyone would like too see their leverguns. So far 30-06 is at the top of the list.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:36:03 AM »

Yup, there will be on on Leverguns too, there's one on MO also, I expect it will be posted several places eventually.

308 or 454

Happy · « **Reply #16 on:** August 14, 2009, 09:52:20 AM »

I think Savage 99 left a void

Something maybe based on the 308 case , not covered by the Marlin 308/ 338 . Then the 22 bore in a lever for coyote and a 6.5 something for mild recoil .

mcwoodduck · « **Reply #17 on:** August 14, 2009, 10:15:53 AM »

Win 1895 carbine in 30-06 or better in 308 win would be cool

Cheesehead · « **Reply #18 on:** August 14, 2009, 10:28:09 AM »

500 S&W Magnum would be nice in a Guide Gun.

.454 would be cool!

I've killed more deer over the last 50 years with my win94 30-30. Funny it was left off

quickdtoo · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2009, 03:07:12 PM »

The poll is to ascertain market potential for new chamberings in an all new levergun platform.

357 max???

dpe.ahoy · « **Reply #23 on:** August 14, 2009, 04:38:05 PM »

I've got 2 454's now but could always find room for another. Have BLR's in 7mm-08 and 358 Win, the Marlin should be able to open up the 338ME to a 358ME pretty easy. I know I would spring for one of those. The 308 is always a good choice as is the 270 and 30-06. The 7mm-08 is pretty popular around here, they sell as fast as they hit the shelf, maybe a 7mm-338ME would be pretty sweet. I would also jump all over a 357 Max in a heart-beat as I'm sure many others on GBO would. DP

.357max and .445 to match my Dan Wessons. gypsyman

pab1 · « **Reply #25 on:** August 14, 2009, 06:44:13 PM »

A .454 would be great! I think a .357 Maximum would be another great choice.

Badnews Bob · « **Reply #26 on:** August 14, 2009, 07:05:22 PM »

Oh yea a .357 max! that would cost me money.

Savage .250 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 15, 2009, 01:20:31 AM »

None of the above light my fire. Not in a lever anyway.

Lloyd Smale · « **Reply #28 on:** August 15, 2009, 11:54:58 PM »

I like my levers in traditional straight walled rounds. The bottle necks are to me rounds that belong in a bolt with the exception of the 3030 and the .35. Id love for marlin to make me a 500 linebaugh lever or even a 475 but i know that it cant be done easily in a 94 action so that makes it a 336 deal and they allready have the 4570 444 and 450 in lever guns that equal or beat anything that can be done by those pistol rounds. If i have to live with the longer action id just as soon have the longer case as it allows for lower pressures and better feeding. Now if i had to tell marlin to make my dream gun it would be a factory 50 alaskan. That would be a step up in performance for existing guns. I have a custom 50 alaskan but like the round so much that id buy another if they would make them at a production price. If it had to be a bottle neck in a lever gun make me 336 in a 25 caliber round that gave 250 savage ballistics out of a nice little 18 inch carbine. Preferably with an oct barrel but id settle for something on the lines of a guide gun. Make it blued and with real walnut as thats the way every lever should be made. A 454 would be cool in a 94 but you will never see that as the marlin action isnt stout enough to take the pressures.

I have a Marlin camp rifle in 9mm. It's ok and I am aware it is a rimless cartridge but I would love to have a light walk around lever in 9mm. Not needed just for fun.
