My brother just bought one just like this and we shot it this weekend. I agree with all of your comments. Ultra reliable, smooth feeding, and good trigger pull. Knowing Ruger, there version is probably even better than the old reliable JM Marlins (before the Remlins) were. I'm glad Ruger took over Marlin, and I know they will, as always, produce a superior product. I don't think any company other than Ruger could have done this. Now I need one of these as a companion to my Marlin Guide Gun (2000) 45-70.
So glad to see Marlin making a good solid comeback, thanks to Ruger.
Me too! They are doing an awesome job.
@@buildhuntxplore Would the Marlin 1895 Trapper be suitable for knocking gray squirrels out of trees?
@@clooperman3745 are you serious? Go buy a 22LR for that. 45-70 is for bears not squirrels.
@@SergiuM42 well they die either way
@@buildhuntxplore I wish that I could get one
Great work Brian and clear explanation on the Marlin 1895 SBL vs the Trapper
Thank you!!
Doubled my money when I sold my Remlin TSBL last fall compared to what I paid for it new, and the Ruger version looks better to boot. Look forward to seeing one in person.
I was cleaning out an abandoned home that belonged to my grandparents last year and found a Marlin 336 and a Winchester 94. Now, I have the lever action bug! I just can't find much 30-30 ammo. Anyhow, after watching this video I know now that I need a 1895 Trapper in my life. I'll be at the NRA convention this weekend in Houston, maybe they will have one I can put my hands on. Thanks for the video.
Welcome & thank you! That's awesome!! Beware...it's an addiction LOL. Yes, you need one of these in your life. I'm sure they'll have one there. Have fun!
What an awesome rifle! And awesome calibre. Something special about a rifle design and calibre that has been around so long and met the test of time. Good for fast follow up shots on a charging Grizzly too! Plus will harvest your venison. Thanks for sharing Dave
So true! Welcome & thanks for the support!
that is one badass little rifle
So true!!
You did a great job managing the recoil!
Thanks. These weren’t heavy duty loads, but still fun
Thank you for all your efforts in making the lever gun videos. I’ve got a new Trapper on order (some day it will get here). You have given me some great ideas for the changes I’ll be making. Paying MSRP, but here in CA I’m just happy it wasn’t more. Thank you again!
You’re welcome and thank you for watching! I’m glad you’ve found some of this to be helpful. You’re going to love that Trapper!!
@@buildhuntxplore DO YOU THINK IT'S WORTH WAITING MAYBE 6 MONTHS FOR THE TRAPPER IF i HAVE THE CHANCE TO HAVE A SBL NOW? GREAT VIDEO BY THE WAY
So happy this came out. I ordered the SBL from my local gun dealer. And then kicked myself because a week later Ruger started advertising the trapper variation. BUT through a happy mistake they received a new trapper instead of the standard SBL which I gladly took!
lol awesome
Just perfect! Thanks for the review!
Welcome & thank you!
I can’t wait to check one of these out! The machining looks great from what I can see on video.
You’re going to love it!
Love the video and all your content! What a beautiful rifle! I can’t wait to get my hands on one!
Thank you so much! You’ll love it!
Could you do a comparison between one of these new Ruger-made Marlins vs the Henry All-Weather?
I'll see what I can do! 👍
Henrys are plated.
Henry all weather aren’t as durable since it’s chrome, if it gets chipped it loses a lot of its protection. Two way less capacity at a bigger size and you can’t thread the barrel because of magazine tube
Love the fluted bolt and Skinner sights!
They are definitely nice!!
I like the 10 shot 44 mag straight walnut stock!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks great, happy you could get one
Thanks! I’m loving it 👍
holy cow you've gotten good at firing those things! I did all my range point precision installs from your vids
Lol thanks! That’s awesome, glad they helped!
Holy cow man! That is an amazing weapon!
It gets the job done 😁
Looks like another winner from Ruger/Marlin. I like that shorter barrel for heavy brush. Great review as always.
Thank you! Definitely a very hand rifle and perfect for thick woods!
Great video Brian! 👊🏻 I was able to shoot the new SBL and Trapper today at my local range and it was a toss up for me. I think the SBL is better if you don’t plan to suppress but the Trapper will really shine once you thread on a can!
Thanks!! That’s awesome! Yeah they are close. I am so anxious to get a can that will handle it.
Heee haww!
Thank you Ruger greatly appreciated
🤠👍
The best review of this gun. Jamming is non existent that’s perfect for protection from anything!
Thank you! So true 👍
The smokie ammo looked awesome!
I was in my local shop yesterday when the fed-ex guy walked in with one and it’s now in my safe lol. Awesome little gun
🤣 nice!
Got one on layaway at my LGS they got one in the day I was there.Can't wait to pick it up in a few weeks.
Awesome congrats!!
Thank you for the great presentation........
you mentioned a red dot what would you suggest ......thanks
You’re welcome and thanks for watching! I now run an Aimpoint H-2 on it. Perfect setup, in my opinion.
Would also love to see a side by side comparison of the Ruger-Marlin and Henry , but also like to see a quick side by side of the length difference with the SBL.
I’m working on it 👍 Gotta go to NRA this weekend for work and I’ll get on what I can when I get back.
That would be helpful as I am in the market for the Ruger in 45/70.
Placed an order with my local gun shop for the 1895 SBL back in January of 22 with no ETA and went there today 5-25-22 and placed another order for the Trapper no ETA .
Lol nice!!
@@caseyschryber1255 You got me beat , I thought that the Taurus 942 in 22lr that i ordered in December of 20 was a long wait .
@@buildhuntxploreGreat news got a call from my local gun shop my Trapper is ready for pickup Friday 6-24. it only took about a month . The SBL that I ordered in January is nowhere in sight.
OOOO BABY that mat finish is fine AF
I know!! One of my favorite things 😁
Mornin Bri
Morning!
I love it
Greeting from Finland and thanks for the videos, awesome stuff! Just got my trapper and of course when you live across the planet, mine was built on a monday morning. Bolt was missing the spiral flutes almost completely and buttstock jiggles no matter how much tightened. Due to unknown timeframe of spare parts delivery i had to settle with a decent price cut even though i rather had my gun as it should. Still no hard feelings just bought another new Ruger with confidence. I guess my happy ending was almost free aimpoint h2 on the beast. Thanks to you i already have couple stock improvements on my mind for the gun anyway. By the way didn’t you upload a video setting long XS rail on this gun, i cant find it anymore? Sorry for long comment, keep up the good work!
Thanks for addressing the trigger flop. I just purchased mine and didn't notice the flop until a week after and i was wondering if it was like that when i got it.
Welcome! Yeah, put a Ranger Point Precision Trigger in it and you’ll love it. I have several videos on here installing, showing trigger pull weight, etc. thanks for watching!
Just picked one of these up for elk hunting in the bush.
I love my marlin lol good old 45-70
Can't beat them! Thanks for watching!
Love the looks but wished they would offer it with out the threaded barrel. It messes up the overall profile. Also on the guide gun without that long rail. I like the stainless steel building and laminated stocks, which are quite eye catching. Thanks for the nice review. 👍
I own a 450 marlin it's outstanding.ive killed deer shooting through trees
450’s are wicked. I hate to shoot mine since you can’t get ammo anywhere lol
@@buildhuntxplore I know I bought 1000 rounds when I bought it .Hornady is only one making ammo and I haven't been able to get a reloaded for it.but it is an outright cannon
Definitely know how nice it is. I wish Marlin / Ruger. Would get them out on the market. You can't find them in stores anywhere.
They’re ramping up production. Just takes a little time.
How does this compare to the Henry All Weather regarding reliability, ease of modification, and overall?
Any idea on when they will release more of the line? 1894s or 1895 in other calibers?
Beautiful lookin gun
Thanks!
How well do you think this works for a left handed shooter as far as brass ejection?
For someone who cant own a semi-automatic. why lever vs a pump vs the newer strait pulls that are coming out? I have a 7600p and have a love hate relationship with it mainly the lack of good magazines considering selling it for a lever.
I’m eagerly waiting for the 30-30s. I want some competition for Henry. I haven’t been able to get my hands on one and hopefully the Marlin’s will be in stock more often. As it stands the only 30-30 I’ve been able to find in a store/online is Rossi, and I just don’t know enough about them other than they are owned by Taurus. I love you videos man, have a great day.
I am interested in seeing one too, but I am afraid it will be a $900+ dollar rifle. I bought one of the late model Remlin's in 30-30 for less than $400 dollars, and it is a Dandy rifle for the money. I did feel I was taking a chance on it at the time as it cycled so rough new, but I was able to take it apart and work all that out of it. The only parts I replaced on it was the stiff loading gate with a Ranger Point Precision aluminum gate, and a rear Marble sight. In function, smoothness of operation and accuracy it is every bite a 366 Marlin (Winchester 94) that as I have ever shot or hunted with. I am 62 years old.
My problem with Ruger and Henry is the lack of competition - Ruger will just price their (Marlin) 336 rifles in any caliber at or above Henry Prices. Back in the day of Winchester Vs. Marlin with the old lever gun design in 30-30 they needed to keep them affordable - they both had to compete with modern rifles in modern cartridges, but back then they had an affordable niche in the market place to hunters. Today, there is no affordable market place for the 30-30 cartridge outside of a nostalgia niche. The used market is way up for lever action rifles, and Ruger and Henry can make new rifles and keep all lever rifle prices artificially high for what they are by creating a new niche. They can do it by low production numbers and higher prices. I would not hold my breath for the new Marlin rifles made by Ruger and their offerings - let alone Henry rifles.
I picked up a henry h006 about the time you made your comment. It is a nice rifle but my 2012 remlin is superior in every way.
@@Chuck_Carolinaill take a ruger over henry or marlin anyday. My remlin 336ss is far superior to my brand new h006 but not in comparison to my big boy 357 carbine. Cant recall the model #
I just bought one of these and waiting for it to come in. Do you have a link to a picatiny rail that’ll go on it like the sbl? Thanks for any info.
Do you know if we can put a scope on ?thanks …..good vids!
Awesome!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
👍🤠
Yes!!👍👍
👍 🤠
Hmm just got my hands on the new SBL a couple of weeks ago. Also have a early Guide Gun, but I don't have a trapper...🤔
We’ll that’s a sign…lol
the smokey ammo made for a really cool-lookin intro, though.
lol thanks!
Fantastic video and a magnificent Marlin 1895 45-70 Sporter! One of a kind that will do it all. Thanks!
Thank you!! It really is a great all-around rifle.
Is this shorter rifle as accurate as the SBL? I’m looking to shoot out to maximum of
150 yards for whitetail.
Perfect to pair with a 45/70 BFR
So true!
Any idea if this is set up to take an XS rail or the rail ruger puts on the new SBL?
Yep, same setup as the new SBL, so it will take that rail or XS rail.
Great video! I’ve been wanting to get down to the Clinton House.
Thanks! You should come out to AK Masters in June put on by Palmetto State Armory. Awesome match, tons of fun. We'll be filming the whole weekend.
@@buildhuntxplore I will definitely look into it!
Awesome!! I assume all the aftermarket fun stuff that fits the SBL will fit these too?
Yep it will all fit 👍🤠
Great video. What do you preffer better ?. If you could only choose one. This or the 1895sbl 🤔
Thanks! If I could only have one, I would choose the Trapper for two reasons.
1: Shorter barrel better suited to my surroundings for hunting. (Thicker woods in a lot or places)
2: The SBL is VERY shiny. It looks pretty, but will scratch easily in the woods and reflects light heavily. Not ideal for thick woods hunting.
Overall, both are great options. It just comes down to what suits your needs best.
@@buildhuntxploreawesome. Thank you
welcome!
Forgive me, I've shot guns like my personal sig 45 acp, and 12 gauge in boot camp but am still fairly ignorant on the subject matter. I was looking for something to take out when im camping in remote areas. I saw this and was considering it because of its smaller size and power. Would you recommend this rifle in case of bear encounters in the north or something else? I know to keep bear spray but think this is another option just in case. I thought about a .30-06 Springfield but that is around 44 inches, which is 10 inches bigger than this. Thanks for your thoughts.
Have levers in all calibers and makes (manufactures) except Ruger (Marlin) this will be my first (when I can find one) and one in 38/357, 44 & 45 when they come 🤞🏼🙏. Shorter the barrel the better 😜. 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Awesome. You’ll love it!
What does it have for a recoil pad?
Wolf's Prairie Outdoors have you seen the Smith & Wesson's new line of lever rifles?
Gorgeous 🔥 🔥
Unfortunately I'm not sure this beauty will touch the European market soon...
Thanks! Yeah, sadly it might be a little wait, but definitely worth it 🤠👍
Does the ranger point precision handguard fit it and how does it look?
Yes it would fit. It would look like this, except matte finish instead of the polished: instagram.com/p/CS6k6CCLUTq/
Wolf's Prairie Outdoors which one do you like the best? Both are awesome looking rifles I like the Trapper version for the reasons you mentioned.
Can you put a red dot? There is rail to mount to it.
If I could only have one, it would be the trapper. Love the satin finish. As far as a red dot, you would need to put a rail/mount if some kind on it. I will be doing that soon. 👍
@@buildhuntxplore thank you and looking forward to your next video.
Welcome and thank you! Next video is up, installed the new RPP handguard on this bad boy 🤠
Got any recommendations on what rail to buy to mount the red dot on ?
That depends on what you’re doing. There’s a few options from different companies.
RPP has a plain pic rail or rail with integrated low peep sight. Midwest Industries has a beefy rear sight with a pic rail built in, or a really cool option with a rear sight and dedicated Aimpont T1 footprint for lower mounting.
@@buildhuntxplore would the MI Marlin 1895 Extended Sight System M-LOK also work ? Thanks for your help.
When will they be in the gun store for sale?
I’m encouraged by these Ruger/ Marlins because I want to see 30-30’s and .375’s.
They are awesome! Lots of things in the works from what I’m hearing
35 Remington
Lovely! Too bad I already have an earlier model Guide Gun.
Thanks! Yes...but you don't have THIS model 😁
It's a cool rifle
It's a little beast for sure!
@@buildhuntxplore cowboy guns are my favorite guns they are never out of style
This thing doubles as a smoke screen apparently
🤣 Cowboy loads
Jeez thats some smoke screen powder
Beautiful unit. I wish it was in any different caliber than 45-70.
Lots more coming!
At what distance would you zero a 16.5" marlin 45 70 with 300 grn loads and 405's
Either 50 or 100 yards, depending on what my intended hunting distance is.
Also, love the Ridge Runner. That’s my company name, lol
@@buildhuntxplore ias born n raised in east tn we have been called ridge runners as long as i can remember . Thank youluv yur videos bro .
Sold !!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
👍😎🇺🇸
Was wondering if I’d buy one today, now I know. Also need that smokey trapdoor ammo. Does it dirty up the gun? Yes. Do I like cleaning guns? Also yea.
lol it’s not too bad. I’ve not had any issues with it.
has there been any news on a new ruger 1894?
None that I have heard. I can't wait though!!
Can you put the sbl rail on this ?
Yep, you sure can!
What red dot optic would you recommend for the Trapper?
If you are going for sleek and budget minded, something like the Primary Arms RS-10 or Holosun 509 is great. I also run something like a Trijicon MRO. All three of those mount easily to a Ranger Point Rhino Rail. If you want something that is on the higher end you could get an Aimpoint T2 and use a Midwest optic cut mount to keep the optic as low as possible. Any of them would be great setups.
@@buildhuntxplore - awesome! Thanks for the guidance. How was the accuracy of the Trapper vs. the SBL? What would you say is the max effective range of the Trapper?
Which barrel length do you prefer overall? Trapper 16" or SBL 19"?
I prefer the Trapper 16”. I like a short/handy rifle. I prefer my AR’s around 12”-13”, but that would REALLY limit capacity on here lol.
@@buildhuntxplore Thanks Brian. Well I'm up in Canada, so I haven't had a lot of experience with the AR platform. I agree on 16" Marlin for sure. I have a Marlin Dark 1895 and those are 16" threaded, such a handy thumper. Added the RPP Comet break as well, tames it down nicely. Also have an 18" 1895 ABL which I like as well, just not quite as handy as the 16", also non-threaded means no muzzle break. I know Chiappa makes a 12" Ridge Runner in 45-70, but I think the Trapper & Dark models are perfect. Sweet 16 lol.
Lol yep, sweet 16. One big thing with the 12", you are severely limited in capacity. I think 16" really is the best length, unless you're trying to hit 1,000 yards, lol.
I know im gonna get some dumb comments, but why does it smoke so much? Is it the ammo?
It’s the type of ammo. That was trapdoor rifle loads. Modern high power rounds aren’t like that.
@@buildhuntxplore ok thanks
I didn’t know that they still use Bat Guano as propellant in 45-70 ammo 😂 Smoky.
😂😂
🤣🤣
Does it come in a left hand model?
Sadly no
Why couldn't you shoot it left handed?
Hopefully we will see a price drop $1350+ for these is a bit pricey, I love a lot about these but at these prices a few high powered semi autos become tempting once i save up enough.
It does look like a great gun though and id love to own a good marlin.
I think once things settle down the prices will drop.
Picked up my 1895 sbl for 1200 at cabellas. Every other place had them for 1400 or more. Just keep an eye out because bass pro and cabellas are getting them in slowly
Just bought mine today. Very beautiful firearm. 1200 dollars later..
Awesome! You’re going to love it
@@buildhuntxplore serial number is below 10k so I wonder how many were made.
Hard to say
I can't find any video that addresses accuracy of the Trapper.
Cool variant. I still prefer a longer barrel.
I love this size for hunting around here. One of my other top wants is a 26" octagonal barrel. They just look amazing.
16 is a little small, I'd like to see this in an 18, or even a 20... 26 is just a bit much
That intro tho
Thanks 😁
@Wolf's Prairie Outdoors Got me feeling like a wild west shootout was happening. That last slow motion discharge. 🤌🏽
I want one
You’d love it!
Fire it a couple of times and it makes it own smokescreen!
🤣 dual purpose weapon
Wish I could afford one
Set what you can aside, when you can. Before you know it, you'll be there 👍
Can't wait for the 357 magnum 1894.
chose this one over the SBL because pic rails don't belong on lever action guns
I respect your decision 👍🤠
Dude I have this gun. I know how the 45-70 rounds kick. Shooting that quickly had to have beat the crap out of your shoulder.
You my friend know how to shoot a lever action!
Thank you sir!
i want the SBL, nowhere to be found.
Looks like they got rid of the cheap painted birch stock on the Rem Trapper ……good !
I had a Remlin 1895 guide gun, absolutely terrible finish but the worst thing was horrid accuracy. I haven't seen anything about how the Rugers shoot, waiting for reports...
It's coming 👍 Work has been crazy and I have a nearly 1 hour drive to the range now.
0:23
I wish I would have bought one before prices went through the roof
I think they'll settle down once the market levels out. You'll love it when you get one!
