New Ruger/Marlin 1895 SBL 45/70

[TOBY458]

Just went and picked up one of the new Marlin 1895 SBL rifles today. Ruger really knocked this one out of the park! I've owned and handled many Marlins in my time, and this one is nicer and more well finished than any of the older ones. Very slick action and feeds very smoothly. Haven't shot it yet, but will very soon. My internet is slow now, so pics to come later.

Congratulations ! My perception is that the new Ruger Marlin is a very well made rifle , I wouldn't mind owning one . I have one of the Remlin 1895s , luckily it is one of the better made ones and I have not had any issues with it . I look forward to hearing how it performs but thus far all the reports / reviews of the new Ruger Marlin have all been positive .

@TOBY458 I'll be interested in reading your opinion on the Ruger Marlin (Ruglin?). I don't know of anyone who has one yet, just read the write-ups in the gun rags.
I really hope that Ruger is successful with the Marlin line.

I like how they really made it into a 24 hour rifle. That could be very important out in bear country in the night. This looks like a very capable rifle. Love the nod to suppression as well. Very cool.

Has Ruger rounded the edges on the loading port? Those sharp edges peel hide off your fingers sometimes. Glad to hear Ruger is doing it right.
As soon as you can we’d like a range report.
Thanks

Yes sir! They did a great job of polishing the edges. Very easy to load.

Fantastic.

Been looking at those…. Hard to find. Guessing a supply & demand issue. Saw where they are going for over $2000!!! Crazy, the Henry’s are about half that.

I’m hoping we’ll see a blue steel, iron sighted, walnut one too.

I'm going to let this one go. I have safari money to raise and the stock market is down too low to pull out money. About to post in classifieds for $1700.00.

This could be a new record

Thanks! They're definitely nice. I just need to raise some money for my safari, so I figured this one can be replaced later if I need to.
