Very Rare Marlin 1894 Cowboy

Putting this one up hurts more than the .357 just sold....
This is a very rare 2005 manufactured, Marlin 1894 Cowboy. It has a 20" Octagonal barrel that points and stays on target, like nothing else. And I can honestly say, if I do my bit, this is without reservation, the most accurate Marlin I've ever owned. And as you can see, I've had a few through my hands in my time.
But what makes this so rare? It's caliber. There were only 600 of these produced and best guess is, less that half a dozen were ever imported into the UK. Some in the collectors association believe that this model was aimed at the youth/female market of Cowboy Action Shooting, even though this is a full size rifle, so it could be teamed up with the Ruger Single Six. It failed to catch on. It was dropped from the catalog.
This is the .32 H&R Magnum, 1894.
The .32 H&R Magnum is essentially an elongated .32 S&W Long, operating at a much higher pressure. .32 Mag in the US has been touted as a defensive round which has seen it chambered in small framed, short barreled revolvers. Full house .32 Mag loads equate .38 special with less recoil and more accuracy. And here's the beauty for those of us that punch paper, one of the most accurate pistol rounds ever, the .32 S&W Long, goes through this and shoots like nothing else.
A little nose heavy, steady as a rock, nigh on zero recoil with cheap, easily available factory ammo or reloads, whats not to love!
Really, really nice condition. No marks or dings to write home about, except a rub on the top strap from the cabinet. I have seen Marlin Cowboy models sell for upwards of 1200 pounds, which is crazy. Even though this is a very rare and desirable model, I believe my asking price is very fair. It is one that I really don't want to see go....
£875.
