I am still PO'd that Marlin sold out to Remington, and Remington seems to have trashed what is arguably a simple, robust, and reliable platform, given the horror stories I have read lately...

That, plus the fact that Marlin stopped production of the 1895's is driving prices up. Exquisitely turdlike in all of his many manifestations!! Resist much - obey little. Hayduke lives!

About the same time, I stumbled across a great shape 444P Marlin AKA Outfitter really cheap, so it also found it's way home. That was about 8 years ago & I have never shot any of the 3. Now I am sitting on a gold mine of sorts. I had planned to start using them, but with Remington messing the Marlins up & dropping the 444, who knows. Sad to see Marlin going down the tubes with the Remington purchase. Great rifles.

ANY Remlins) and my 39M, 1894 .25-20, 1894C .357 and 1895M 450 Marlin have been acquired since this photo was taken. Who's your Daddy! Last edited by wrench_man; 05/01/12.

Win 94's in 444 have been fluctuating wildly for months now and are beginning to come down in price now that the "dumb money" has been spent. Marlin turned out thousands and they haven't disappeared.

Eventually I went 45-70, but since I'm a 44 Mag shooter, I have had a few regrets not going 444 just for logistics. I like the older Marlins, but would prefer the 1/20 twist ballard rifling on the newer 444s.
