[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3061234, member: 43126"] My dream gun has always been the 1874 Sharps .50-90, followed by the Winchester 1873 and the Henry 1860. I am going to start looking for one, not a collector item, but one I can actually use at the range and hunting. Since I have never shot any of these, or had any experience with them whatsoever, other than drooling over them at museums, gun shows, etc., I need advice from anyone who has experiences with these... I know there are tons of calibers in these as well, unless the only place to get ammo is to load them myself, or fly to another country, I am not concerned with availability of a specific caliber. All this said to ask: What are the best (preferred or proven) calibers to go with? Which make and model? And how would Marlin stack up against the 3 I mentioned? [/QUOTE]
