'Tis the season - "EBR" or "EWR" - which and why?

I have already made that choice - Marlin 1894C, pre-safety, in .357 Magnum. If 10 rounds of .357 don't do it for me, nothing will. It is a soul stirring gun and round with plenty of punch. Will do for anything here in the East, two legged or four. Fast. Reliable. And, doesn't look "evil" and hardly gets a second glance around here. A lever action used to be hanging in the back of every pick-up truck. While those days are gone, the memory of them is not and folks don't pay a lot of attention to them, other than to stop and ask what you have.

Plus, I can cast bullets for it, have lots of brass and other components, and can find them a whole lot cheaper than a good AR or AK. Finally, I have companion side arms that share the ammo and are no slouches by themselves.

Hard to imagine a better combo going into the "end of the world" than a Blackhawk and a Marlin in .357.
