I don't know - I have a marlin lever-action tube-fed rifle that I got from my 
dad when I got the Remington - but the Remington still shoots better.  
Maybe the first gun is somewhat like the first girl?  I've always loved that 
Remington, and never found anything quite so satisfying to shoot well with wo 
little effort.
Being a single shot, it isn't fast - but it sure is economical as hell when 
the first almost always is also the last shot.
