Something about racking that lever-action and hunting with open sights that really gets my blood pumping.

Love my 30-30 lever. Took this hog with it at 60 yards. dropped in his tracks. Left a nice exit hole. Looking forward to trying it out on deer this fall.

Thats a Marlin LTS with a stock from a CB. OAL is 34". Sights are XS Ghost rings. 16" barrel needed a .650 front sight height if I remember correctly. LTS uses old style front sight groove. Rifle now wears the barrel and with sling stud.

Its the best handling and lightest Marlin 336 know to mankind.

safdm44,

No, the rifle is from the factory with a williams sight in a dovetail. I think there were only 2,500 or so of these made. The only non-special run Marlin I have is the Stainless 30-30 above.

Some nice pics on here for sure.

I really like this thread as I enjoy hunting with lever actions, just this Last year I hunted with my 45-70 and was able to take a decent buck on my friends place and an axis doe on my property. My place is a small parcel of land and I think the doe had escaped from a larger game ranch somewhere, from where? I don't know, as there are no exotic game ranches near by me that I am aware of anyway. I will try to post a pic on here of my axis doe with lever gun used to take her. Next week if all goes well I will go hog hunting on my friends place with a new to me 1894CB in 44mag, I hope to be able to post pics here of that hunt as well and share a successful hog hunting story.

No pics yet, but my Puma M92 carbine in 44mag is going hog hunting this year. Looks and feels like a kids gun until you pull the trigger! Can't wait to send a 300gr Nosler at some bacon
