I have a 1894SS that shoots a 1 1/2" group at 100 yards. Not sure what you want from a carbine.

Stopped by the Ruger/Marlin booth at the Great American Outdoors show in Harrisburg PA this weekend. They had a new blued 44mag with a sign that said coming Spring 2023. I asked the rep about pricing and he said they didn't have any info. I said off the record what do you think? He said probably MSRP of $1200-1400 which is where the other models are for MSRP.

The pics I have seen from SHOT '23 look nice. The real challenge is going to be finding one at or below MSRP with the pent up demand.

Very few 1895s can be found for MSRP yet, and that has been over 2 years.

Maybe the one you shot couldn't print, maybe it was the shooter. But they are accurate shooters. No reputation for less.

Have 2 JM's both precrossbolts a 44 and a 357. Still have my eye out for a 32-20, 25-20 and 41 mag they are spendy...mb

I’ve been waiting to buy a 357 in a ‘92 or Marlin or ? of some sort.
I prefer walnut and blue. I don’t hunt that much in inclement weather and I just prefer walnut stocks and deep blue steel.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

The one 1894 44 mag I had was, as best as I can remember, shooting around 1 1/2" at a hundred yards with a Weaver 4x scope. It wore a Williams Foolproof peep most of the time. I killed one boar with it and gave it to my nephew after he killed his first buck with it. It was his only rifle for years and he killed several deer with it. Until recently, I've never truly wanted another, but at current prices I don't want one bad enough.
Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight. What do you get when you cross a polar bear with a seal? A polar bear. Did you hear they arrested the devil? Yeah, they got him on possession. www.wvcdl.org

Any word when? Stainless? Based on the info on the web site I think the first to be released is will be a .44 magnum with a blued finish. There are supposed to be a very few out already though I can't confirm that.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
Here be dragons ...

They're shipping now "with limited availability". The really good news is that they finally gave it a 1:20" twist. Marlin 1894

Wonder what the bore/groove dimensions are? I might consider dumping the Rossi for a tighter groove barrel to be able to shoot .430 cast.

Handled one today at my local dealer. Seemed like a very well made example.

Now if they would just chamber them in 45 colt they would have my attention and maybe my money.

44 mag with the large loop lever and I'm in. Guess I'll have to wait a while.

Back in 1979, I bought a Glenfield 30-30 for $130. which was half week's pay for me. Contrast that to 2023 pricing for a new Marlin. YIKES! - Sherwood
FIRE UP THE GRILL - is NOT catch and release!
