No idea on price yet.Is it true that Ruger is coming out with first run of 1895's in 45/70 in december with the 336 to follow shortly thereafter. Wonder what the price point will be on these. Will put a hurting on Henry sales I bet.
OCTOBER 06, 2021 Ruger Announces Their First Marlin Rifle Release ___ |
MAYODAN, NC., Oct. 06, 2021. Christopher J. Killoy, Ruger CEO, said the first Marlin rifle to be delivered in December 2021 from their Mayodan, NC plant will be the Marlin model 1895SBL in 45-70. Killroy indicated that the company will release this model first and will be followed up by some 336 models and the popular model 444 as well. These centerfire rifles will then be followed up by some model 1894's in 357 and 44 magnum. He also indicated that the Marlin famous Microgroove and Ballard rifling have been replaced with their method of rifling and that initial results are offering extremely good accuracy that they are use to producing from their other centerfire rifles in the Ruger line. The model choice for first release is a proven best seller from past Marlin releases and is anticipated to sell very well. The company emphasized that although initial availability will be light they expect to ramp up quickly. |
True, I wouldn't count on them being that affordable, especially with the inflation/steel/materials shortage etc.If true, it'll be way too expensive and worth every penny.
A 336 in 30-30 has been keeping me awake, good luck playin' hard to get with that triple 4, we'll expect pics very soon.I have been able to resist a 444.... thus far.

750.00 a few years back was probably kind of high anyway.I had a chance to pick up an older one a few years back for around $750. They were not yet "approved by the king" for deer in IN. I reasoned it would not get much use beyond the range and decided to pass.
Still kicking myself.

If it was a nice on yeah it's about average right now, prices are all over the place on those.Looks like a good deal from the current perspective though!

Wait for Ruger!Yeah....caught myself looking around on GB this evening....must resist.
One bright day when I was on afternoon shift I decided to go to the Farmland cc before workThe Marlin 1895 with 405 grain loads stoked with 3031 will shake your teeth. That's coming from somebody who owns and shoots a Weatherby 460. View attachment 162132

Resistance is futile... at least I suspect mine is.I have been able to resist a 444.... thus far.
