As Ruger has absolutely nothing I have any desire to buy now, I don't have much faith they are going to improve Marlin. I am sure they will have "marlin by RUGER" stamped all over everything, and the entire owner's manual scribbled on the side of the receiver with lots of gray laminate and "target gray" stainless finishes. Maybe after the 3rd or 4th recall they might be ok. Maybe.
