I like this gun.....old school with a modern look....but just because it's black doesn't make it a military rifle, though it is.

The lever action rifle was actually a military weapon....so technically, this rifle is a "weapon of war."

Anti-gunners...does the fact that this is a "weapon of war," mean I can't have it....according to your b.s. view of our Constitution?



If you’re a fan of modern lever guns you’re going to love the latest iteration of the Dark Series from Marlin Firearms. (See our review of the previous take on this gun here.) Since Ruger took over the Marlin brand they aren’t just churning out the same old Marlins that our dads and grandads had (although they are still doing the classics as well) but they’re continuing to evolve the line. The new Dark Series is launching with the big daddy of lever guns, the Model 1895 in .45-70.

Ruger 450 Bushmaster is my weapon of choice

I think the gun is ugly and I would never buy that model.

Back in the day, when the brown turd Obammy was trying his gun grab, i got the old fashioned Henry in the .44 Cal. It cost $700 at the time...

Yeah, i was looking into some .45s of the Teddy Roosevelt single action replicas, bought two of them and then realized i need a rifle for them.




So i got the Henry Carbine of the .45 with the Rifleman lever. The bottom one is now mine also.

can you handle it?

There is very little kick, which surprised me.

Good to hear that you have used it. I know a few people that have purchased guns and never fired them.

Dupe.....

Marlin (Ruger) Goes Tactical

Dark series..... https://www.marlinfirearms.com/s/leverAction-DarkSeries/ I don't know if I'd drop $1400.00 on one but I'd consider one in .44 mag for around 1K.....They are available in .45-70, .30-30, and .44 mag. I'd not mind the stock set to put on one of my .45-70s. I'd probably be...

Nearly nil. .45 Long Colt in a rifle is not noticeable.

The tactical lever action rifles have been making a big splash these days.
While they're pretty cool if I had to pick one rifle it wouldnt be a lever action no matter how good they look.

Cowboy Guns ( Real Historic ) ( Modern ) to me are Meh .

Yep..
Already have a 30.30. Winchester lever gun.
I suppose they sell tactical furniture for it but I bought for its historical value.
Putting a bunch plastic on it would ruin it for me.

I would not mind a tactical stock set for one of my .45-70s but it is straight wristed and I can't find one but for the pistol grip frames.

Of course I could change out the lever and lower frame extension but the view would not be worth the climb to me due to the cost of the parts.

Funny how Mossberg was ahead of the curb.....Remember how everyone laughed?
