So, I currently have a scoped Marlin 444 but thinking about an open sighted lever for other days hunting. I don't think you can beat a peep sighted lever but due to antler restriction here in PA a scope is needed for the days when pressure is on and the deer are more nervous.
Winchester 1886 in 33 WCF. I would need reloading set-up. I had one before and the cartridge did great on deer but supplies are problematic and add to overall cost.
Browning 71 in 348. Already have the full set-up.
Winchester 1886 Lightweight (new model) in 45-70. Already have the set up.
