I already own a 30-30 Winchester and a .35 Remington, should I bother with a .32 Win Spl? It's not that I need it, I just like leverguns and the more nostalgic calibers.
Your answer.SNIP...It's not that I need it,..
Your answer.
You sound like my wife... the voice of reason.
And I sound like a gun salesman...lol
Don't hunt, but own a 1976 made Winchester Model 94. Have loved that rifle since I was a boy--one of my favorite toy guns. Nothing matches it. It's hung on the wall, and while I enjoy shooting it from time to time, I mostly enjoy just looking at it. Great condition, about 98%. Got it at a gun show. While no other lever action is as iconic, why not get it if you want it? Lever action carbines make great home defense weapons, too. The .30-30 is not something I'd like to be shot with.
If you want it, and can afford it, buy it.
Two choices.
Flip a coin.
Look deep into your heart or mind and decide which brand you like more.
I know. The decision really and truly is yours.:shocker:
Here's what I suggest
buy both and then send me the Marlin since I have neither a Marlin nor a 32WS.
If it is just going to be a "wall-hanger", does it matter which you get?
If you plan on shooting it, factor in cost and availability of the ammo!
The .35 Whelan is an obscure chambering but of fairly recent vintage, unlike the popular and ubiquitous 30-30.
If the ammo is too costly or no longer made, I wouldn't waste my time and resources on either rifle.
