If they can make barrels that are a uniform, proper diameter all the way through that'll almost be worth the money right there. Thinking that won't be a problem with Ruger's hammer-forged barrels ... from Ruger's website: Barrel is made of 410 stainless steel and is cold hammer-forged which results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity.

They need to fire all the gay boys working in their design department. What's up with the picadilly rail on a lever gun? For Scout style scope. XS has even selling the same sight/rail set up for 336 and 1895 models for years. This is nothing new.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

I was under the impression that the Marlins could take just about any high pressure cartridge. Am I wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time. Edk They are not. Winchester's Big Bore 94's are stronger. But it doesn't matter in the real world. The 444 Marlin, 45-70 and 450 Marlin are plenty enough to get the job done.

I am just asking Yes. SAMMI max pressures are 43,500 psi for the .450 Marlin and 60,000 psi for the .500 S&W.

I would never own a laminated stock..ugly AF.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

What a way to [bleep] up a classic design. Looks horrendous.

Looks like a nice rifle. I'm not a fan of the top rail for looks. They do fill their purpose well. The loop is a little large, for my taste! Nothing I am in a market for. I only have three lever guns. Marlin 39, Winchester 94 30WCF and my favorite lever 99 Savage in .300 savage! The oldest grandson is drooling over this new Ruger-Marlin.

Appears the overall length and barrel length has been increased 1/2 inch to accommodate the threaded barrel/thread protector.
Rifle may be around a half pound or more lighter than the older versions.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

That safety is the safest way to unload a lever action.I like its looks.How ever have no need for a 45/70.I could give a chit about the stupid bullseye.
Its all right to be white!!

It will be interesting to see how this affects the astronomical prices of existing Marlin 1895 SBL's. I did a quick search on gunbroker and the top bid for one NIB is $3,125 with about 13 hours to go, next highest is $2,776 with 6 days to go. Lowest bid on any of them is still over $2000 for used ones.
These Rugers will probably sell for over MSRP for a while. Heck, even if they're $500 over that's still cheaper than what folks are paying for the older ones.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
