So, as I am taking it easy on my holiday here in far north QLD, collecting coconuts and feeling a little isolated, with the nearest fun shop at least 60km away, I keep thinking about 44 lever action that I am keen on. I’ve decided on a Marlin 1894 44MAG.
As I search for those, few Marlin 45-70 pop up in my results. What I find interesting is that they (45-70) are often, if not always, cheaper than 44MAG alternative. I would have thought that 45-70 would be more expensive.
Any suggestions, as to why this is the case?
As always, appreciate all responses.

Also what Bladeracer said, supply and demand. .44 mag, being a pistol caliber, is more sought after by "single-action" and "lever-action silhouette" crowd which could be keeping the prices up.
That would be my thought to, seems to be the same with .357 v's say .30-30 as well.
