My marlin model 1894 carbine.

I think it would make an ideal survival rifle because mine holds 10 rounds of 44 mag or 44 spl its fast light weight and easy to manuver i use mine for whitetail huntin and they dont get away(they never have taken a second step)if you know how to handle it and have the right load in your ammo its a very effective 100+ yard whitetail,bear or moose rifle and because its a lever action its not gonna hang if you get a little dirt in it although mine has never gotten dirty at all this year im planning to purchase another in a 38/357 for my wife and also as a good second take all rifle(squirel,rabbit,coyote and deer)these are my picks for great survival rifles..
