Marlin 1895 vs. Winchester 1886

[dirty barrel]

Was interested in which action is stronger or are they about equal. I'd like to get a 45/70 levergun for huntin and was wondering which gun could safely handle stout handloads better. While on the subject, does anyone know where a guy could buy a new winchester 1886? I'm leaning towards the 86' for nostagic reasons.

the marlin is a very stong lever action,for hunting the marlin is lighter and
easy to pack.

I read that the 1886 could actualy handle longer loads than the 1895, the 1886 is in limited production right now if you want to spend a bit over 1k from what I've seen. They weigh about the same according to the information I have seen.
