Re: MOSSBERG'S 464 REINCARNATION OF THE 94

I am playing around with the .308 Marlin Express, and it is a good round. I am dying to get my hands on the .338. I love the Winchester model 71, and I think the Marlin 338 might be close to as great a gun as the 71.

Re: MOSSBERG'S 464 REINCARNATION OF THE 94

Really with the new Hornady ammo any caliber could be possible within the action limitations. I remember that the leader in the poll was .41 magnum, but I didn't follow it all the way to the end. I think that 7-30, 218Bee, and .35 would be great.
