Re: Win 1886 vs. Marlin 1895
Most figure it out and eventually buy a '86. If you don't, no worries on my part, just honestly answering the gentleman's question to the best of my abilities from personal experience and my own bias. WellSir, I have a USRAC 1886EL, shotgun butt, etc. It's for sale sometime when prices favor sellin...

Re: Win 1886 vs. Marlin 1895
The Marlin is perfectly fine. The 1886 is classier, but weighs more and is hard to scope. I can't imagine a better big bore hunting rifle than a Marlin Guide Gun.
