Someone I hope cause I just got a pretty Marlin 1894S made in 1987 and chambered in that caliber. 20" barrel with nice walnut and 98% blue it will be needing a good home soon.

    I have an 1894S in 41 and love it. They are hard to find since they only made about 3300 of them. Should bring well over a grand.. Post the link when you get it up please.

    It's on my "like to have" list. Right now it's not on my "spend cash on" list. Coupled with a 41. mag revolver it would be a great combo for Indiana deer hunting as the cartridge is legal in both. A .44 mag is as well, but of the two, I would rather have the .41.

    Oakie had at least one of them, maybe more.

    I have a Blackhawk in .41 mag.
    I do have the Marlin in .44 mag and one in .41 would be nice to add to the collection but, as previously stated, I'm sure it will bring at way over a grand also.
    Will be interesting to watch.

    I bought a 1960?s era Ruger Blackhawk .41 mag years ago for the pricey sum of $250. Super accurate revolver. Would love to have a Marlin to go with it but they never are found for less than $800 in .41 mag that I?ve ever seen locally or online.

    IMO, 41 mag is a caliber in search of a purpose. YMMV.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Elmer said it was a better long range cartridge than the 44 mag. One of the most punishing pistols I ever shot was short barreled Ruger something in 41 Mag. Good luck, hope it bring you a good price.

    IMO It's a better hunting round for deer size game than the .357 mag and flatter shooting out of a rifle than the .44mag. IMO It offers no advantage for personal protection it's advantage is as a hunting round. The .454 I carry beats all of them hands down but not everyone wants to, or can, handle the recoil. For them the .41 mag may be a good fit. I already have a revolver and a lever gun in .357 mag and I don't need to upgrade bad enough to buy one right now as I hunt mostly with rifles on private land and a slug gun on public land (Indiana law has more limits on rifle cartridges on public land than private land.)

    It has it's place, but not for everyone. Hunting laws being what they are it would probably be much more use to me in Indiana than to you in Washington.

    So yes MMMV :)

    S&W never made a 44 Magnum version of the Model 58. That alone makes the 41 Magnum worth it for me. :)

    41 magnum is one of my favorite calibers.

    I will be watching, I have never had a rifle in that caliber it would make a great woods rifle for deer.

    I like the Para Ord 45 you have too.
