10mm Auto in a lever action carbine is a good pairing. The Marlin 1894 Trapper 70928 has a 16.17 inch threaded barrel and holds ten rounds.

The cartridge is a favorite among those who carry a 10mm pistol. Sharing ammunition between a pistol and a rifle is convenient. The 10mm has more power than most pistol rounds, so it can handle hogs and deer at moderate range with the proper bullets.

A synthetic stock handles weather and rough use. A short barrel swings quickly in tight cover. The threaded barrel allows you to fit a muzzle device or a thread protector, where the law permits.

This carbine makes a fine truck gun or a farm rifle. It is light, handy and strong. The price is high, which is typical of the current Marlin lineup. Ask your dealer to look over the fit and function at pickup, and run a few boxes of ammunition through it before you rely on it in the field.

The listing is for a new rifle. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check. Test several 10mm loads before settling on one, since lever guns can be picky about bullet shape and overall length.
