Considering picking up a new 45-70 lever action and the Marlins sure are priced good. The basic 1895 goes for as low as $529 on Gunbrokers.

How do these new Marlins perform since Remington took them over? I am guessing they are still made on the same old equipment that Marlin used to use.
Do they seem like a good buy for the money?


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
