Sweet! I have had a basic Marlin 1895 since 2006. Good hog rifle. Great deer rifle.

It's the same type that Chris Pratt carried in "Jurassic World" to shoot T-Rex's and Indominous Rex's

I wish the SBL had been available when I bought mine.

I've got a tube fed 45 Henry All-weather stainless a couple of years ago.

I wanted to get a Marlin side-gate tho. Been looking for a couple of years.

This one has a rail already installed so I can put a thermal sight on it.

The big loop lever and the rail are the best features.

I have been looking to order the new Marlin 336. You are lucky to pick up a lever action they are scarce here. They are taken as soon as they arrive.

I have 3 of them now.

A Henry .45 Colt All-weather
A Henry .30-30 side-gate
And now this Marlin 1895SBL 45-70

The local dealer near me is about the same price. One of these days I'll quit looking and buy one.

This is the upc from Lipseys catalog UPC: 736676704781

Is that a Marlin (no JM) or a Ruger Marlin?

The serial number would start with RM for Ruger-Made Marlin.

 

[deannalw]

James has one. He's googy in love with it, lol.

I looked at one of the new Ruger 1895s of the same ilk. IMHO it was too polished for a hunting rifle. The blued one they had I liked much better....Just personal taste.

Then again I already have two JM Marlin .45-70s so I was not going to drop $1200.00 for it. No T-Rex in the Virginia woods anyway but I get the cool factor.

2:27 in sold a lot of .45-70 L/As.

45/70 is a big freaking round that reached it's popularity in buffalo shooting and Custer's last stand. I guess it makes a nice collectable.

I use mine for hog hunting. Most of the hogs fall within 10 feet or so. And deer hunting is great with the 45-70. I'm also planning to take it with us when we do our cross-country RV trip in a year or so, for defense against bear.
