New sub here. I owned an original Marlin for 50 years, here in AR. I bought it in like new condition, adding my 1903 Springfield to lower my cash requirement! I used it on uncountable numbers of our smallish deer as well as feral hogs! The micro-groove barrel really liked the Winchester 315 grain loading, and the beauty of that selection was what it did to game. They always died properly, never running more than 50 yds., +/-, their internals in ruins! Now retired from pursuits afield, I'll pass the rifle and scope to my Colorado nephew, perhaps it'll add several elk to its' imaginary notches!?

I have a Marlin 1885 GS and used it to walk the beaches in Alaska. Using Remington 405 grain almost exclusively, but never having to shoot in self defense. The cartridge is loud going off, but the recoil is really mild, it's rolling thunder. If you see bear up north (Alaska Brown's) you will know it's the best defense to have. So I applauded the copy of the Marlin, I know it is a gun you can shoot all day, comfortably

You just earned another subscriber. My dad's old lever action Marlin 30-30 was the first big boy's rifle (non-.22) that I ever shot, and I loved that gun. I took my first few deer with it before I "upgraded" to a .270. I love the fact that another company is carrying the torch for that model's aesthetic, and is actually doing a good job of it for a change. I may have to pick up one of these. The curved pistol grip and slightly looped lever is perfect, and the fact that it's all stainless and laminate (and thereby weatherproof, as long as you take care of it) is just amazing. And the fact that it's a 45-70 instead of a 30-30 is honestly even better. That's become one of my favorite rounds. I don't mind the recoil, and they will definitely reach out and touch something as long as you understand the ballistics and ask nicely. This looks like a great gun

Spent money and time trying to get it reliable, but gave up and sold it. Replaced it with a Henry Black. Much better. Hard to believe that some folks still think that the Remlins are just as good as the JM Marlins. So thankful that the reviewer is intelligent enough to recognize the clear differences in quality between this new Ruglin and the aforementioned abominable Remlins. Looking forward to Ruger releasing the "new" 1894 and hopefully some tactical versions for those of us who use lever guns the way they were intended; on the trail and in the woods.

Was just watching Ottawa 2022 C19 trucker protest videos, now I’m being recommended gun reviews? Why do I feel like I’m all of a sudden on a watch-list, and this is *_clearly_* entrapment? Hi Mom! I’m on TV!! WOOOOO!!! (That last bit was my Rick Flair impersonation, for those of you who are old enough to know who that is)

My understanding is yes they'll be avail in 44 and 357 mag. Supposed to ship those soon but I'm still waiting. My source was March '22 issue of Shooting Times. Excellent review. Not sure how they gauge their date as it's only January but that's whats on the cover.

I feel very fortunate. I bought a Remington Made Marlin 1895ss in 2014. It has the most beautiful wood furniture of any of my lever guns. Fit and finish, blueing, function, and accuracy are all excellent. I own JM 1895 to compare it to. With Barnes 250 gr copper bullets fired from a bench rest at 100 yards, it will hold .75 inch groups.

Thanks for the information. I've been waiting for Ruger to start the production of the 'Marlin' lever rifle for awhile now but really wasn't sure if the wait would be worth it. I was considering Henry but I think you just made up my mind, thank you.

I've got an older 1895 sbl Marlin in 45/70. There is no yellowing on the stocks. Fit and finish are superb. The action is like butter and the trigger is crisp. The only complaint I have is, as you said, the loading gate. It 50yds it will make 1 ragged hole.

I'm sold. Have many Rugers, and several lever actions, just not a Ruger made lever action. I'm tired of staying broke from non-stop gun purchases, but I need this one. Like the others before it, I'll just stay broke for another month or two, and then "no more" after this one, at least for a "while".

I have owned a Ruger lever action carbine in .45-70 for decades. Ripping loose high velocity 300gr jacketed hollow points is a great experience. Being more of a traditionalist, I like the V-notch rear and gold bead front. I also like those sights on my Winchester 1886. When I can't get the job done with those, it will be time to pass them on to my son.

They'd sell a shit ton more of the svelte 357/44mag 94's than these 4570 tank busters that fire $2.50 a round cigars.. Once the novelty wears off the majority of these 4570's spend the remainder of their lives doing safe queen duty..

great vid bud. i gotta say , i have the remington version and i think i got a darn good one. first off, mine is smooth and crisp in the action. fit and finish is perfect and other than the pre threaded(which is cool) i don’t see much of a difference in mine to your ruger version. not to mention how many people have offered to buy mine off of me. you shouldn’t have any problem getting rid of it if that’s what you’re planning on doing. good luck and can’t wait to see the next vid on that ruger. congrats.

When Remington bought Marlin the machinery used to produce Marlin rifles was completely worn out due to no investment being made to upgrade. The machinery was moved to a new facility, but couldn't be made to work successfully. To make things worse Marlin did not even have any drawings for the dimensions of components etc. so they had to literally reverse engineer from existing guns to get what they needed. Remington ceased production to solve the problems. Once they restarted production with the new machinery the quality of the Remington Marlins was fantastic, I have an 1895 SBL and an 1894 from that period along with a number of Ruger rifles and handguns. The fit and finish of my Marlins is far better than any of the Ruger firearms I own and I say that as a huge Ruger fan. Ruger will have their work cut out to do better than the later Remington models, although after the financial collapse of Remington which led to the acquisition of Marlin, they will have the benefit of the new machinery and groundwork that was put into producing quality rifles. The notion that all Remlins are rubbish is just an internet myth. The OP's 2017 version is of the bad Remington era.

@@brianlee6849 Agreed they are fantastic rifles IME, I have one older Marlin. For whatever reason, I much prefer the looks of the Marlin lever action rifles to the Henry's so they are always top of my shopping list, I hope Ruger will ensure they have the quality to match their good looks. I would like to get a 38/357 mag.1894 when things settle down, that's my favorite lever gun caliber, the one I have already is a long barrel model, looking for more of a carbine length.

I hope these guns are similar enough to be very compatible with the existing aftermarket. I'd hate for companies like RPP to be crippled by the extra expense and sales confusion of carrying two sets of everything. It looks like Ruger intends to make this a golden age for Marlin, so hopefully this also translates to more power to the customizers, not less.
