...The evolutionary expansion into .458 caliber rounds has not included upgrades in stock design or recoil pads which means that the Marlin 1895's and variants, recoil to uncomfortable levels when you use heavy loads....
A couple of the newer models (1895GBL, and 1895SBL) come standard with laminate pistol-grip stocks, and Decelerator pads.
I have one of the GBL's, it's a whole lot more comfy under recoil than an older 1970's 1895 I had, that came with a straight grip, and a hard plastic buttplate.
