- In this video @OutdoorJack stops by the shop to talk about the brand new Ruger made Marlin 1895 Trapper 45-70. This lever action gun is a little different than the 1895 SBL. The biggest differences is the Skinner Sights, and that the barrel has been shortened by 2 inches. Thomas is a big fan of this model and can't wait for the next one.

Awesome! I love what Ruger has done with Marlin so far. I grew up with Marlin has a kid with a 39 golden A and then later a 336 30 30 and I feel like Ruger has brought the quality back to Marlin. Every review I've seen today is extremely positive that Ruger is doing it right for Marlin. Thank you 👍
That is awesome and thank you for the comment.
@@HighbyOutdoors 👍
Love the 45.70 lever action! This gun is beautiful!
It sure is isn’t it. 👊🏼
I just took my new Trapper out of the box yesterday and was quite impressed. The metal to wood and metal to metal fit is darn near perfect. The laser etched checkering looks and feels great. The smoothness of the action is as good as anything Marlin originally made. I love the way they smoothed out the lever and loading gate so there are no sharp edges.
That is awesome 👏
I'm a younger guy who is mostly into ARs and 9MMs but I gotta say, something about the 45-70 Marlin Dark Series is really speaking to me. I think im gonna get myself a big bore lever gun!
You should 👍🏼
@@HighbyOutdoors I plan on it, it would be nice to have a big powerful round and a lever gun in the collection
I couldn’t even get one of these for Christmas. Not happy they aren’t producing them fast enough.
Yeah it was limited there for a while
Ranger Point Precision sells a blank to get rid of the cross bolt safety for anyone who hates it.
Interesting thanks for the info.
Mine will be here shortly after Christmas 🤩
Super cool
...my late wife bought me an original Guide Gund with the 16 in, ported barrel back ca.2008
Love this rifle just bought it last weekend, haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet because of Arizona fires in the mountains but looking forward to it.
Nice 👍🏼
How I wish this to be available in Gunshops in India. Every gun lovers will go crazy for it .
Awe I am sorry man. its a great gun.
I like the changes/upgrades Ruger has made with this rifle. I own the Miroku Browning 1886 .45-70, and 1892 .44 Mag lever action rifles and think they are the finest lever guns ever made. I am a huge fan of Ruger and own numerous rifles/handguns from Ruger. I would like to see a TRUE All-Weather Guide Gun in this series!
My changes would be very simple:
1. All- Weather should include a Full Synthetic Stock. I would love for Hogue to offer one of their Over-Molded Stocks with the same dimensions as the Factory Laminate.
2. Return to Buckhorn/Semi-Buckhorn Sights. They could be steel, fiber optic, Tritium, or a Fiber Optic/Tritium combo (preferred) for low-light and no-light conditions. I shot competitively with peep sights at paper. I prefer the open buckhorn sights for speed and field of view over peeps.
3. Smaller Lever. I know the craze is for a big loop, but I have hunted all over Texas and the Rocky Mountains with my lever guns and have always worn gloves (L/XL), and have never had any issues with fitting my large gloved hands in the lever. There is a better feel and it produces a better action with less slop on follow-up shots.
If aftermarket suppliers made these products there would be no need for Ruger too. I know a smaller lever is available. I have not had much luck in finding a full synthetic stock replacement other than the skeletonized aluminum ones. No luck in finding buckhorn/semi buckhorn sights either.
Thanks for the comment.
My favorite ammunition for the 45-70 is the hornady leverevolution 325 grain ftx
That is great Ammo
Cant wait for the 357/38. But may be inclined to the 336 version till then.
We are excited as well. 336 version will be cool.
Die hard 45-70 fans will tell you how it's just as good as an elephant gun. Then you go out to their range, they knock a steel plate around with it to showcase how powerful it is, putting some decent spalling onto the plate. Then you drill it once and your round goes right through.
45-70 is a decent caliber, don't get me wrong, but it's almost reminiscent of people thinking a 12 gauge round will literally lift someone off their feet and launch them across the room
Ruger is really kicking ass with the Marlin levers.
You betcha!
@@HighbyOutdoors 45-70 is too much gun for me. Been there done that. The 336 in 35 Remington is dandy that is underated. Like to see a 336 varmint/coyote special in.a 25-35 or something similar. Trappers in 357&44mag is fun hog guns and plinking.
Ruger has the quality down pat .
I always wanted one if those
I like the old west blued guns, I have a couple of those, but with this particular firearm, I like it the way they made it. Stainless , laminate, big lever loop! I bought one today and I'm anxious to shoot it. While I am a traditionalist, I think if the people had the choice of this gun and what they had back then, they would opt for this new marlin trapper. I'm sure they were locking for every edge they could get in those days. This gun strikes a balance of old and new very well. I will never let my traditional old west guns go, but I won't let this one get away either.
I want one!!
The Trapper looks awesome...
Shoots great!
I have one of the early model .450M GG’s. Great rifle. Only thing I don’t like is the mag tube is short. This new SS is a nice rifle.
So happy I stumbled upon this channel. I used to live in Sidney and have been a big fan of your store since opening day. Anybody looking for reloading components or a good deal on a quality Burris optic check this store out. They always have more than cabelas!
Thank you that means a lot to us.
I just purchased this beautiful firearm. I should be receiving it sometime next week. I’ve never been more excited about a firearm purchase before. I also have never spent as much on a firearm. My favorite caliber and my second marlin in 45-70. Wish me luck! I’m going to need after the fiancé sees this one 😮😂
That’s awesome
Smart of them to have a threaded muzzle. I've added threads to several of those guns and it takes some work.
I like the finish way better on this model.
We agree
Nice video and awesome new Ruger- Marlin lever action carabine. This video would be perfect if you shoot it some 45-70 ammo at the range
Yeah I hear you, its just if we shoot it then we are selling a used firearm. We try to do what we can.
Love it.
Thanks
That's a $1,400 rifle. The ordinary Joe isn't gonna dish out that kind of money for a brush gun. I knew that this was gonna happen. How much is Ruger gonna charge for a 336 30-30? That's if they even start making them. Looks like Henry will start getting more customers.
Especially with the gas and food prices these days. With that money would've been spent on food and gas alone.
They will make the 336 but I’m starting to wonder when
Nice-looking lever action👍
Thank you for the comment.
I want one, great video.
Give us a call 📱 number in description if you want to get on the list.
I love it 🥰
I know right.
Can't wait for it to be available in Canada!
Pick it up when it is!
I’m sure it’ll be considered a assault rifle soon
That's a sweet right there
It's a shame that we're here 8 months later and still can't find these things in local shops. I prefer they delay the other models and get these Trappers out to to those who want them
We will put in a good word for you, not sure it will do much but we will try.
Also need a rear ladder flip up sight for longer range shots
I wonder how long it will be before "Big Daddy Government" says: "Oh no, no, no, little boy! You cannot have that either! That is WAY too dangerous and item for you to be messing with!"
Bless their big Fat hearts for thinking of us! They only care about OUR well-being, after all.
I mean, Heavens to Betsy!!,....what would we do without them!? It is not like we can think for ourselves or anything! I am surprised we can walk and chew bubblegum without "Their" aid!!!
Nice rifle!!
Thank you. It’s a sweet one for sure
Also, thank you for the review , I actually found what I was looking for in this review and you guys really nailed all the key points in such short time thank you. Can you possible do a review in a Pietta Colt 45 single action, figure now I have the cowboy riffle might as well get the hand gun too.
Thank you, We will do our best to work that Pietta in. Be sure to like and sub. 👍🏼
Just looking at that beauty makes my shoulder hurt. I can't imagine the kick.
Its not as bad as you would think.
Does it have a kinetic recoil buffer in butt stock like big bore rifles often do? Be sweet along with screw on muzzle brake
Wish I could find one in Canada.
Yeah good luck
Can you add a picatinny rail to the trapper though? I know an optic on a levergun looks so wrong, but a hunting rifle is no good if you can only aim it during the daylight hours.
You wouldn't really add a pic rail. You would use the existing mounts to add the optic.
I need one 😮wow
Get one ☝️ lol
Ruger. Couldn't have been a better company to take over Marlin.
Like to see it in a .308.
Ohh yeah. .308
Awesome! Is there any velocity loss from the shorter barrel of the trapper vs the sbl?
If there is any is nominal.
Just got mine a week ago, I love it, but just like gas them damn bullets are so expensive
That’s awesome, and yeah I hear you on that one.
When you take down a grizzly you will be thankful
I absolutely love Ruger. I currently have a Remington produced 1895SBL and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. But that little trapper version is pretty appealing.
The only thing I do not like is the threaded barrel.
Anyway awesome looking firearm.
Thanks for the comment. Be sure and sub.
Threaded barrel: a sign of the times.
That's a bear thumper.
3 inch off barrel
I like it, but for the price, I want finished wood.
Understandable 👍🏼
Can i have this awesome gun
I’m curious as the durability of the skinner sight. Will it be able to take bouncing around on a horse all day? Thanks.
We do believe so. 👍🏼
Half-cocked > cross bolt safeties. Fact.
Is it too short?.is the.sbl a better length
Really depends, I think its nice for what it was intended to be a trapper saddle gun. But if you want to hunt with it I would go with the SBL.
Where are the 1894s!
Southpaw friend
Good review - but not agreeing on the cross bolt safety. Half cock is just the way a lever safety should be and you can operate it silently if you know what you are doing.
Thanks for the comment.
100%
Can you mount a red dot on this model?
We do believe you could, you’d remove the trapper sights and mount a pic rail then your red dot.
Tough choice guide gun or trapper
We like Trapper..but then again we like both.
Now Ruger, what about replacement parts for original marlins? The scalpers with needed replacement parts are scalping us. Anybody out there got any good news about this?
🤷♂️
Where can I get one?
Give us a call we will see what we can do +1 (308) 203-1155
Not a fan of the cross bolt safety at all. Safety notch on the hammer is plenty.
The cross bolt safety is not the way it should be any day.
I have seen the cross bolt assembly removed
I wish Ru-Marlin would introduce a 22-24" barrel version. 16 and 18"barrel 45-70s leave so much to be desired with un burnt powder, muzzle blast and untapped velocity. My 22" JM is a dream to shoot compared to the Guide Gun.
Thats a great recommendation.
Love the rifle, but it's out of stock everywhere I looked.
Gary do you want us to try and get our hands on one for you? We know people!
@@HighbyOutdoors Unfortunately right now I don't have the $$$$$. Thanks for the offer though.
How much
$1299 right now.
I don’t like it I love that gun!
😂😂🤛🏼🤛🏼
ca vaut pas une 1886 ;)
I'm buying one someday.. Just not today.. just bought a new car and gaming PC. My wallet hurts.
🤛🏼🤛🏼
My comment is - I don't like Peep Sights
Completely understand. Thanks for the comment.
