Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk OMG - the price!

Prices have been crazy for a while now and I don’t see them going anywhere but up. Have you looked at the prices of the new Ruger made Marlins ?

And they can't build them fast enough. Most are selling for above MSRP, that's why I don't own one. When the price comes down to reality, I just might pick one up.

For now, I have a very good shooting JM that has taken its fair share of pigs, bear and whitetail.

My lgs just put got a one of the new 1894 44mags, sticker is under 1k.

Last year at the Tulsa show there were many 336’s for sale. Most were priced at $1,200, some at $1,400 and I found a couple just under $1,000.
I’ll be going again this year. At those prices my JM 35 Remington is for sale.

Local store got a Ruglin 1894 .357 Magnum in a few days ago, they're advertising it on an Idaho classified site at $999. With state 6% tax that's $1,059 out the door. I figured it would be gone that day but it's still there.

Couple of new 1894 .357's just sold on gunbroker for $971 fixed price and $985 auction price, so add $30-40 shipping, tax and FFL fee to those prices.

Sportsman's Warehouse and another local chain are asking around $1099 for those but they haven't received any in stock yet. That's still expensive but it's better than the MSRP + premium that a lot of dealers were and still are asking.

Very tempted to go look at that one for $999 but it's on the other side of the county, it's very cold right now and we have a lot of snow on the ground, so it's easier and warmer to web surf...
