Most excellent review; thank you for posting. Very glad to see Ruger are keeping up the quality. This is an all-round superb rifle. A few years ago, I bought one of the Remington-made 1895 SBLs. When I bought mine (which cost less than a grand), the initial Remington quality problems had been largely solved, so my rifle (which I carefully inspected in the store) had good quality fit and finish. Mine lacks the threaded barrel and fluted bolt that the Ruger-made ones have, but otherwise, I think, is very comparable. Mine also consistently shoots groups of about 1 MOA, using Hornady Lever Evolution 325 grain ammo. Not being a fan of the shiny stainless finish which, apart from anything else, shines like a beacon in the field, I had mine cerakoted in sniper grey, with black highlights. I put a 1-4x20mm Nikon scope on the rail. The rifle looks gorgeous and this set up is perfect for deer hunting in Ohio. The one watch-out with this rifle is that the barrel heats up very fast and with a hot barrel the point of impact shifts significantly. Obviously not a problem for hunting, when one shot is generally all that's needed, but at the shooting range, to get consistency, I have to fire strings of no more than 3 shots and wait for the barrel to cool between strings.

They live up, got mine in February and it’s the best performing lever gun I’ve ever shot. As for the price? It’s not 1993 anymore, everything is expensive, especially very nice things, so deal with it. Had a guy at a gun show offer me $300 for a shotgun, told me he was an expert appraiser while he opened his “Gun Values 1997” book.

Owning four Marlin 1895 rifles, one JM, one Rem-Marlin 1895 SBL, one Ruger-Marlin SBL and one Ruger-Marlin GBL I can say that the new Ruger rifles are exceptional particularly for metal work and function. That said my Rem-Marlin SBL is a fine shooter and my favorite lever rifle for carry when bad things might be about. And it is beautiful too. The old clanker JM needs some TLC but it is a keeper when I can get it to stop letting in two, lol. I can fix it.

Thank you, I've owned a Henry and the action was horrible, beautiful rifle but it had to find a new home, I was seriously disappointed in there product, I see the catch in many videos of the Henry, and yet they still brag about it, I guess if someone gives you a gun you can't give a honest review.
@kevinrollman3101

I really enjoy your videos. I remember you compared the Henry X and the Marlin dark series both being chambered in 45-70. At that time it was evident that the Remington made Marlin was superior to the Henry. The Henry’s plastic forearm and butt stock, vs. the Remington made Marlin with its painted wood which is impervious to all the elements same as plastic but gives an overall sturdier feel over plastic. I know Ruger is a good firearms manufacturer and so isn’t Remington. It was not Remington’s fault that the JM Marlin facility in Connecticut during the acquisition left Remington without schematics, machinery in poor condition. The only people that could use that antiquated machinery to produce excellent Marlin lever guns were the JM Marlin workers. A micro amount of the workers relocated to Illion, N.Y. to the Remington factory. Therefore Remington from 2009 around the time they bought Marlin Company to about 2016 the year Remington started producing the finest made Marlin lever guns ever was possible due to the new Superior CNC machines Remington purchased and the brand new Schematics and machine programming holding tighter tolerances on all the Marlin components. This is why people complained that the lever action on the Remington made Marlin’s were stiff but this was fixed within firing around 40 to 60 rounds of ammo.The solution because of tighter tolerances was just to shoot the Marlin, use it, and everything started to smooth out perfectly. So many people do not realize that the Remington made Marlin lever guns were so much more durable, stronger chambers for the use of higher pressure rounds, and just overall better firearms and without gouging people’s wallets or purses!!

I have fired the Ruger/Marlin SBL and was duly impressed. I own three JM Marlins: 44 Magnum, 444 Marlin, and 45-70 Guide Gun, and the new Ruger is every bit their quality, which is superlative. My only complaint is their high MSRP, and lack of availability.

I bought a trapper brand new shipped from midwayusa. First look down the barrel, tooling chatter marks on the rifling. Actually cut my finger on a marred up sight fill plug behind the barrel dovetail blank on the barrel as i pulled it out. The front skinner sight was wobbly loose outa the box, so i tightened it and it locked the bolt. It was too long so their answer to that was to loosen it wobbly before they shipped. Since it was so long and could not be tightened without the bolt locking, thats proof that they did that on purpose to ship it. Lots of tooling swirls around the gun. I wanted to contact marlin, but they took the entire 4th of july week off and i cant even talk to anyone. Pure shame and to me, a waste of a very large amount of money.

Could please 🙏🏼 text this out and let me know, also does this Lever action come chambered in these calibers 350 legend, 360 Buckhammer, .444 Marlin? I’d like one in .444 marlin but the new 360 Buckhammer Ammo seems better in velocity and range in distance However we can’t resist the the soft recoil of the 350 legend and the impact it makes down range even at 200 yards.
