Yesterday, 07:57 AM . Welcome to the forum, TBar !
The only place to find a used Model 92, besides in an LGS near you, would be at a funshow or online ( in a forum classifieds ad or a gun sale or auction website like gunbroker or gunsamerica).
You're going to find that most owners selling original Winchester 1892/92's are quite proud of them, and their prices reflect it (high).
Expect to pay $700-800 for a shooter, up to $2500 or more for a pristine collectible specimen.
Most shooter's find the South Americam made Rossi Model 92 a very acceptable substitute @ $500 (new), and "whatever" for a used example.
.357's seem to bring more $$ than the .44's & .45's; all are available in 16" barreled Carbines.
The Rossi's are not as smooth as an original Winchester, but with a little love applied can be made so.
A bit more costlier (2x) are the same M92 Puma rifle, made in Italy by Chiappa (lately).
Much more nicely fit & finished, however, (IF you can find one) are the discontinued Japanese-made (Miroku) 20" bbl'd Browning B92's ( .357 or .44Mag) - basically the same rifle & maker as the current "Winchesters". (about $700, +/-, in good condition)

I like the marlins better than the winchesters because they have an actual bolt and side ejection, bore sighting is made easy by removing the bolt and also for cleaning.The new wins are pricey for what you get. If i wanted a 94 ,i would go with a nice condition used one in 30/30/ On the other hand the marlins you can go new, I have them in 30/30/ , 45/70. New win will cost you about 1200 , 1300 dollers. They are not made by winchester. Marlins will run about $400. to $700, and they have more modles to choose from.Welcome! I have handled a lot of recent Remlins, I mean Marlingtons, including several that were shipped very recently and I wouldn't have one as a gift - honestly. If you prefer a real Marlin, look for them used - the .30-30, .32 and .35 Rem 336s are still very easy to find used and very affordable - and the quality is THERE.
If you're really interested in a 92, the Rossis are very affordable and very inconsistent - if you are an educated buyer and can pick from several that you can handle in person, you can do extremely well, but I would not buy one sight unseen.

I agree with you, All my Marlins are real Marlins, built by Marlin. I would deffinatly look for an ; lets say a pree 2007 one. I think they sold or merged with Remi at that time. A friend of mine just bought a a 336 in 35 rem for $250.00 , great buy rifle was like new condition. All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:06 AM.
