No kidding! They said the 1894 SBL was supposed to come out in the 2nd quarter of this year. But doesn't look like that will hold true.

If they announce a twist rate other than the turtle Marlin 1 in 38", I'll gladly sell my Remlin Custom Shop gun and buy a Ruger

I don't know when the first will show up. I would urge .. patience. Even though the 1895s are nominally back in production, they're rare as hen's teeth on gunstore shelves. I suspect it will take a long time before you can just walk into a store and hope to buy Ruger-made Marlin, it'll be special order with a substantial wait.

I hope Ruger tightens up the bore. The JM made guns had TERRIBLE accuracy. I've seen slug shotguns shoot better groups than an 1894 44 Mag

my Old .44 mag 1894 Marlin will put all 10 rounds in a playing card at 100 yards with a Williams peep sight. Have to have the right load, 240 grain hollow point, but it gets it done. Would love both a .357 and a .45 Colt in the 94 lever gun.

"Accurate" depends on who gets to pick the yardstick. Maybe depends on whether they're buying or selling. I think I've only owned 2 Marlin 1894s. One was a SBL .357. It was accurate but it wouldn't allow more than 1 cartridge in the magazine at a time, they'd hang up on the rim. At that time I didn't have enough guns to have one not working while I waited for repairs so I took it back to the store and they did something or other with it. The other was a cowboy .32 mag. That was a brick but it was near MOA accurate. I didn't enjoy packing it very far but there have been times I wish I'd kept it. Wait, there was another, a plain blued C model .357. I think I just got bored with it, I don't recall it having any problems. Or maybe I started drooling over a Ruger 77/357 and needed to fund that. If so, it's gone down the road, too.

Look hard & you maybe can find one in a round barrel like this 2007 mfg date

Seems I've always seen more Cowboy octagon barrel models

My Marlin 44 shot very well. I regret selling it but I already had a Ruger 44 carbine and really didn't need two.

Buy a Henry and don't look back.

The problem will be the ridiculous retail prices on these soon to be available Marlins! Imagine a 336 for $1000? And the prices for the current 1895 in .45-70 at $1300, $14000, $1500 are totally ridiculous. Imagine the 1894 over $1000?
The boys at Ruger better figure this out. Peace.

They will struggle keeping up with demand.

You’re probably not considering today’s economy and built up anticipation and demand, if this site is any indication.

Yeah, if they're not anticipating selling a large
amount of marlin products like the old marlin
company did pre-remington, I guess the specialized
thousand and two thousand dollar units will
fill the bill. From what I've seen, the large majority
of gun buyers are buying AR's and expensive
customized bolts with big expensive optics.
The traditional customers for marlin levers are
the working man/poor man/blue collar types
that don't have a coupla thou' to put toward a
new ruglin, and most likely wouldn't spend that
if they had it. Probably the business degree types
that are now in every industry in the nation
that make the call.
Oh well.

If that's the case, Henry and foreign imports get more business.

From what I understand, Henry has been selling
everything they build. Never had one myself.
Friend bought a 22 a few years ago.
Smooth smooth smooth right out of the box.
Smoothest lever 22 I ever handled
