I am looking to fill my last spot in my safe with a lever action rifle. I am looking at the Marlin 1895 GBSL in 45-70 or the Taylor Alaskan Takedown in 44 mag. I don't own either of these two calibers at the moment but did have a Henry 45-70 in the past.
The Marlin has a 18.5 inch barrel, green paint over laminate stock, and Williams fire adjustable sights. The marlin comes in a 8 lbs.
The Taylor has a stainless barrel and receiver, black rubber stock and fore end, skinner peep with fiber optic front, 20 inch barrel, based off the 1892 action, and is set up for a scout scope if optics are desired. The Taylor comes in at about 6.5 lbs.
The rifle will be used for deer hunting and black bear hunting.
Preference on caliber or brand? Any thoughts on which would be the better purchase?
Both have over-sized loops.
