I have a very low SN Marlin 1881 in 45-70 that's a cool old rifle. 28" octagon barrel and very heavy, that's fun to shoot. Killed a few whitetails with it in my youth.

Of course, I only shoot the low power loads in it, due to it's age and design. It was actually the first commercially successful lever action rifle chambered in 45-70.

I've seen a few for sale on some of the gun sale/auction sites.
