I have a Marlin 1894 Microgrooved PRE-crossbolt safety chambered in .44Mag. It's completely stock for the moment but considering installing quality peep sights (don't know what to go with at the moment). I highly recommend this rifle as an alternative to the pre-64 Winchester Model 70. The only complaint I have is it kicks like a mule. What do you expect with a light rifle with a heavy dose cartridge.
