So here it is.....

Thanks to all of you who gave me feedback and helped me decide on the right rifle for hunting in Indiana.

I went with this Marlin 1894S .44 Mag. I was able to pick up for a pretty damn good price considering it is unblemished and has not been fired.

I look forward to breaking this in.

Looks great. Let us know how it shoots and holds up to abuse.

Congrats and good luck next season. Looking forward to the range report.

You probably won't like it, I'll give ya $50 bucks for it and take it off of your hands.

Seriously, looks really nice and clean. Looks like you found a really nice hunting rifle.

Very cool!! Are you going to use open sights, a scope, or install a peep sight?

Very nice. Gotta love the classic look of a lever gun.

I am going hunting this weekend, so if I am really lucky and my FFL gets it this weekend I will hunt with it using the stok buck horn sights.

However long term I am torn between a peep sight and possibly putting a red dot scope on it.

I bought it off of Gunbroker.com There are about 6-7 of them on there at any given time, some in better shape than others, and there are a few NIB as well. The prices ranged from about $400-750.

I was lucky and got this one for a steal. $499.00

Very nice gun man! Almost bought 1 bout a month ago but the funds didn't come through. I am a little curious as to what your hunting with it this coming weekend??

And thanks to all for the comments. I will let you know how it goes if I am able to get it in time to take it out this weekend.

I definitely need to get a hunting rifle for myself sometime in the near future. That Marlin is a beauty.
