Thanks, sir, for the advice. Having the same long gun cartridge as a handgun simplifies packing. If a beefier long gun cartridge is preferred for longer ranges or heavier game then my 1903 will serve fine unless I want to eat an elephant.

Besides, I've been wanting a Marlin 1894 for a long time. The Trapper has been a disappointment for several reasons.
