Why buy a modern lever action rifle when you can own the real thing, the first .35 Remington.

Remington Model 8 semi-auto recoil operated rifle, designed by John M. Browning.

If it was good enough for ex Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, who used a Model 8 on Bonnie & Clyde, it should be good enuff for anyone, that is if you don't mind the horrific recoil.

It looks like a Marlin, but it isn't a Marlin. The Stevens Model 425 was the first lever action rifle chambered in .35 Rem.
