Betting that they'll be 20% or more than the Remington Marlin list prices.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

I'm interested if there will be any parts interchangeability since Ruger uses investment casting. I would someday like for Ruger to work out a deal with Savage to reproduce the Model 99 without the tang cracking issue that should have been corrected a century ago. Who shoots a 99 without looking at the stock behind the tang after every shot?
I hope Ruger builds some Marlins that a lot of people want like the Cowboy versions, 1/2 magazine versions, etc. available in a little flashier models. Bring back the SCs and the 24" barrel 1/2 magazine models.
Just my opinion though, I wish Ruger well on this newest endeavor.

So far they saved the Marlin name and rifles to make it to production for another period of time.
Good on Ruger. Marlin was to good of a rifle company to let it go Belly up or to another troubled company.
I will watch & listen and buy another Marlin er 2, that's the main thing. This marriage will work I think !
I would have got him too but a Dad Blam snow flake hit me in da eye....

Wonder when/if they will leave ny and move production to AZ other free state?
Though I don't own one and do not want one I do hope they continue production of the 60.

This is from the Marlin website:
To be clear, our purchase of Marlin from Remington was not for an operational firearms manufacturing company, but rather for the assets associated with the Marlin brand. Specifically, the product designs, intellectual property, machinery and tooling required to make these great products.
Now that our purchase is complete, we have relocated the acquired Marlin assets to Ruger facilities. We also have begun the complex process of setting up production for new, Ruger-made, Marlin-branded firearms.
Sounds like they are not having anything to do with the old Marlin production facilities. I hate to see any manufacturing close down, even in a place like NY, but hopefully this works out better in the long run for us consumers. I say in the long run, because I worry that the initial runs of Marlin guns from Ruger could be pretty rough...
