So you have to take it off your shoulder and lose your sight picture.In the prone position you tilt the rifle to the side and the ever operates quite easily

And the trigger. And the back of the fingers. What an experience it was. I had never imagined a weapon could be so clunky. Admittedly my rifle experience up to that point had been Mauser and Lee Enfield and BRNO and Husqvarna bolt actions. Oh, and an FN Browning semi .22. That was a heap too, dropping hot brass down one's sleeve. Woo hoo.But keep your fingers from being pinched by the lever and you should be good.
I didn't know Marlins had octagon barrels.
The limited cowboy ones with the 24” barrel do, and then the one I have with the shorter barrel do. Looks pretty snazzy to.

I prefer the carbine with the large loop. The large loop Winchester is totally impractical and it actually takes longer to cycle than the standard lever but ....
John Wayne looks cool as balls with one...
Pretty cool. I'm not much for pistol caliber carbines/rifles except for my USGI M1 Carbine. However, I do have an old Marlin 336, .30-30 I hunt with, and its a good gun.
Too many liberals downstate, they shoot the spit outta each other./——/ jealous of family and friends down in the Carolinas who can buy, sell and shoot freely. In the People’s Republic of New York it’s extremely difficult to have anything more than a scatter gun.
Have a 30-30 but the wife and girl child don’t like shooting that. I also like to cast billets and reload. 30-30 cast just fine, but the big .45 cal bullet is more forgiving. And I don’t need the 30-30’s range. Basically, this replaces my AR as a vermin eraser.

Oh, I get it. I like the .45 Colt caliber, and reload for it, but for pistol only (USFA SAA). It is a hard hitting round, and superior to the .45ACP, especially in modern revolvers like the Ruger Super Blackhawk, and Redhawk, and rifles like yours where you can push velocities, and energy.
So what varmints are you shooting at 100 yds with iron sights in .45? What range will it be zeroed at?100 yards is my longest.

Mostly pigs and deer. Deer here are smallish so even .45 colt is a bit over kill. I will likely have it dead nuts at 50 yards. I plan on loading a fast powder under a 250 grain heat treated all lead bullet.

I am sure you know this, but sometimes lead, and fast burning powders don't mix well if you are pushing them to high velocities. I use a 250 grain, lead cast bullet, but keep velocities down for pistol so they don't get too hot, and melt the lead. It also avoids leading the barrel.
