Got the 2012 Marlin catalog today. No mention whatsoever of rifles chambered in either .444 or .338 Express. That's an especially quick death for the .338. Guess I shouldn't be surprised since neither has been a huge seller, although the .444 had been available for a long time. I kept hoping for a "SBL" version of the .444 but I guess that's a pipe dream now. Maybe, hopefully, they'll bring these calibers back if/when Marlin gets all their production issues resolved but at least for 2012, they appear to be defunct...
