In talking to the Marlin rep at a show this past weekend I found out Marlin is coming out with its own single shot rifle. They're inspired by CVA's success and their hope initially was to buy H&R/NEF but FG wanted 35 million for the brand. So apparently a Marlin break action rifle is on the horizon

Interesting.
Let's hope it maintains some class and not get uglied up like a lot of them are.
I'll take some old school chamberings too......

It would be cool if they brought back the Ballard, but that probably isn't the direction they'll go.

I gathered they want it to be similar to the H&R handi rifle which was a better looking piece than the CVA

A scaled down Ruger #1 in .22lr would be cool. Not a fan of break open rifles.

didn't Marlin already have the H&R single shot? or when Remington bought Marlin, they left H&R on the table?

As long as the comb is higher than the Henry single shot it'll be good.

Interested to see if it's a Ruger American version of the Number #1 or from the H&R type family?

It will be interesting to see what they come up with. However, if they stick to their "25,000 rounds on the shelf" cartridge selection, it's just going to be more of what's already on the market............45-70, .30-30, .44 mag, .350, .223 and maybe some .308 based rounds? Hopefully they'll step out of the box a bit in regards to stock design, chamberings and maybe interchangeable barrels.....something different than what's already out there.

So what you’re really saying is Ruger is gonna bring out a break-action single-shot.
Odd choice, but we shall see. There are already Chinese H&R copies I think, so maybe they’ll just copy them too.
What fresh Hell is this?

Marlin IS Ruger now, so indeed interesting. But they will have good barrels, at least.

I was hoping this post was going to reveal a plan for Marlin to reintroduce their Ballard rifles again!

Ruger #1`s are an excellent single shot and cost a lot too manufacture as most of us know , since Ruger now owns Marlin i bet this new type single shot version will be a cheaper type break-open single shot like Henry firearms manufactures ? these new Marlin single shots will be easier to make and much cheaper to manufacture but will probably still cost over $600.00 retail. the good thing is Ruger #1`s will gain even more value and probably will never be manufactured again.
