I hate that lever actions are severely underproduced and getting the Marlin or Henry in the caliber and style you want is next to impossible (other than .22 of course). And if you can find one it costs your first born child. The demand is red hot and I wish more companies would stop producing so many dang ARs and start producing more lever actions.
Agreed. I love ar's but they are played out.
@@nova68cutie Yep. I own and love ARs, however, they are stacked 100 deep in any store you walk into while lever actions are no where to be found.
And can we please get some .30-30s made again.
Get a miroku or an Italian repro of a Winchester, marlin are inferior ( strength of lock up) by design and only improvement is being optic ready....
The only lever action that should make a comeback is the savage 99/win88/ finnwolf/ruger 96-44
Inb4: "reeeeee muh marlin guuud"
1895s have 3x less locking surface than a Winchester 1886 and the lock up is at the rear of the receiver, comparing their strength is like comparing a komission gewerh 88 and a k98, they both can handle 8x57is, the only question is how much margin of error you get, pressurewise.
The only thing more expensive then buying one is feeding it.
My dad was a 45-70 freak. He loved his big bore rifles and carbine's. I got my dad's 1895 Marlin he bought back in the late 80's early 90's. It was indestructible. It was my mountain gun. He had a Phelps Heritage 45-70 revolver that was a week long and weighed 34 lbs. He bought it in the mid 70's. It was by far the coolest revolver I have ever shot. I carried it in the mountains a few times but it was just too heavy and I didn't want to scratch it. My dad lost his mind when I took it to the hills. I wasn't aware of how much it was worth. I would rather beat up a Marlin then the Phelps. I'm thinking of buying a new one but heard how bad the Remington's we're. Thank you for this review.now I will buy one. I wish I could own the one you are shooting now. I like a firearm with a history. Owning a Hickock firearm would be so cool. I really enjoy your videos. Happy Safe Shooting 🇺🇸💪
Hickok Firearms has a nice ring 🤔 if ole Hickok doesn't fo it I might go ahead and trademark the name....
Start a line if revolvers and rifles first.
Then build from there ...
Any investors interested?
Oh wow! Those Phelps revolvers are something else!
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 yes they are. He was very lucky to get one. It was big and heavy but shot like a dream. I wouldn't put any of the 500 gn bullets thru it.
It did not weigh 34 pounds.
@@godwarrior3403 I know it was closer to 5 to 7 lbs. I was just joking.
This was the gun I wanted to buy when I graduated high school. 5 years later I managed to pick one up. It's still my favorite rifle.
You luck son of a gun, I hope you're still enjoying it.
I bought one of these years ago. There's a reason it has remained in my collection where firearms come and go. Very enjoyable shooting experience.
Such an iconic rifle, thank you for showing us this masterpiece
So happy to see Marlin back in action. Can't wait until they get the other models up and running.
they need to hurry up!! I want the 357 back 😩
I hope they make a Guide Gun in .500 Magnum :)
I have an old marlin 30-30 and I’m itching to get a new one!!
agreed. how about a new version of the camp 9 and 45...?
@@markdunavant7641 Wouldn`t that be the PC-9 and a PC-45?
My grandma works at Ruger so I was able to get one of these for half off. Amazing gun indeed.
One of my biggest regrets is passing up on a used Marlin 45-70 in stainless steel, $500 at a gun shop. Lever action like butter . . . original CT production. But, I got a 1894 in .357 instead, one of the last ones made in CT before Remington. Horrible construction, but after I filed, stoned, and honed all the internals smooth it shot like a dream.
The problem with Marlin was the machining and tooling was worn out. Remington had to convert all the tooling to CNC, so be grateful to them for that . . . and that is why production was hit and miss at the beginning, and eventually the Remington (Remlin) guns were first class quality.
Now Ruger has Marlin and will benefit from all the transition in production . . .
I believe Ruger will do a good job making Marlin rifles and I’m glad about that.
Please go look on how a 336 /1895 lock up now compare to a win 1886/92/94/95... And now you know why there are no 55k+psi chamberings for marlins ...
Remington, made a lot of poor quality items when they went on their acquisition
binge. Marlin made fine quality, through 2011, to my knowledge. Marlin stood behind their product
and worked with their dealers.
I had just about the same feeling when I passed on one in 2020. Haven't seen one in a pawn shop or retail store since.
I feel ya partner. I passed on a stainless 45/70 Marlin with lam stock in 2020 at a pawn shop just north of Houston. I just didnt have the money after being fired for covid-19
Well done to Ruger for restoring Marlin to its former glory.
Well the Rugers are nice and I love Ruger tremendously. But they are making Marlins that compare to early Marlin JM models? No that is not correct. But I do agree you have a far better chance to pick up a better made rifle than what Remington was producing. But the 1895SBL from Remington didn't suffer the poor craftsmanship that their other Marlin's did.
Now , if Ruger builds Marlin 39's again that would be huge! Would they compare to original model 39's? Once again no. But it would give people a chance to pick up a great .22 lever action from Marlin again and at a better price point.
Marlin history was actually very respected and will probably never be reproduced again. Marlin did a lot of hand fitting and it showed and you can feel it when you cycle them.
I have high hope for Rugers version. And I do not believe you will find a better company to deal with. Ruger has imo the absolute finest customer service I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I have purchased Rugers new that had some rather huge problems. But Ruger has never blinked an eye and they fix or replace their mistakes without hassle.
So over the past 40 plus years I have been shooting I have grown to believe that Ruger is a superb company.
A stainless Model 39 please Ruger!?
Another cool one to bring back would be the rare Marlin model 90 O/U shotgun. I own one of these and love it.
Nc proud
No they haven't. I would rather have a North Haven or God help me a late Remington, Ruger needs to get there shit together.
Had a remlin before I had my Ruger SBL, and had a JM 1895 Cowboy. None of them were even close to the Ruger
My first gun was a Marlin Model 60 and my first good handgun was a Ruger Single Six. I've always loved Marlins and Rugers so this is a match made in Firearms Heaven for me.
This is honestly the best looking lever action gun I've ever seen
Go look at a case hardened browning miroku 1886, savage 1899, any pre 64 1894 or even a spanish "el tigre" 1892 copycat... Of get dome prescription glasses, this marlin is tacky finish and meh wood 101
@@levergatRapha its consumer grade. Please take the elitist approach elsewhere
@@blackraven8841 the marlin chromed/dubious wood tacky stuff is in the 1,5k usd range....
Even a miroku is cheaper, let alone an Italian 1886 talk about elitism elsewhere, fren.
This is not "consumer grade" its an inferior product sold for more because of advertising and sudo national pride ( see GMC in the 80ies, fender/gibson today, apple phones etc)
Buy once, cry once.
@@levergatRapha You're nutz! You have no idea what a lever is. You think a Japanese miroku is king, LOL.
Savage , give me a break. spain made scrap iron.
@@armedfarm3429 gr8 b8 m8, educate yourself.
I collect leverguns and shot cas for years, along with working for a western oriented gunshop.
Miroku is still miles ahead over today marlin, steel, finish adjustment etc.
the savage 99 was produced for nearly a century and spanned a plethora of fast spitzer calibers (250 sav hp was 100gr @ 3000 fps in 1912 300sav served as basic for developing the 308/7,62) meanwhile boutique marlin calibers are 44mag maximum and 45-70 p+ snake oil and no marlin is built for 308 spitzer or pressure.
even 1920 spanish craftsmanship and steel 1892 copycat is still a better gun that remlins and will hold value better than your 1,5k cast atrocity.
Keep fantasizing on Jurassic park marlin died iwitg Remington and ruger is only reanimating the corpse for cashgrabs
The grey and silver looks so good on these rifles.
Ruger makes a quality firearm. I am glad you were finally able to lay hands on one. It seems the right company got the Marlin firearms rights they're bound to be a lot more on point than the previous owners were.
I got one of these at my local gun store a couple months ago. I love it. Far above the remlins in quality. I paid $1200 out the door. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite rifles. I hope ruger brings out the original guide gun too.
I am a ruger enthusiast
Ruger is trash anymore , older stuff is great , I own several older , but the last two post Bill's passing were complete trash
Marlin was way better at building this rifle than ruger will ever be.
@@ChristianityRecap bahaha haha imagine being this dumb. You have no idea what you’re talking about fool.
My very first firearm was a Marlin so it’s absolutely great to see them putting out wonderful firearms like these. I need to acquire one of these 😌
I bought my Remlin 1895 a few years ago ordering it from a local gun shop. I refused the first one but accepted the second one and this one was manufactured in 2019. I'm familiar with Winchester and Marlin lever actions and always disassemble them and treat them where need be. I also stripped off the factory finish and gave it a hand rubbed oil finish. Turned out to be a sweet smooth operating gun. They can be a diamond in the rough. Thank God Ruger bought Marlin and are keeping these fine guns going!
I'm so jealous that you get to shoot all these cool guns , Living in England we don't have that option so thankyou for your videos to brighten my day.
I too share this island with you and share your disappointment over these wonderful guns
Well there is always room here in the southern part of the United States for some fellow gun lovers. I just picked up a 1968 Marlin 336 30-30 lever action and it I just as smooth now as ever. Still can't believe I found one this old. But wishing yall the best and hope you oneday get to own your own lever actions.
and it's no better in Ireland, but this rifle is an object of beauty and desire!
Move to the SouthEast US! People who support our laws and our Constitution are welcome
@@nathanas64 yes sir Alabama here, 2nd Amendment forever sir
Man, I love, love, love this gun. I bought a Henry (that I also love) so that I could avoid all of the Remlin problems, but as soon as this gun is actually available, I'm buying it. It's the gun and quality I want in my safe for a long, long time.
I very happy that the Marlin brand is alive and well again!
I love my JM Marlins, I have been a Marlin lover since 1977, when a original 444 followed me home, I still have it and love the 444, I own six 444’s, the SBL model is a wonderful concept, Ruger needs to add more calibers to that line!
Ive got a couple 444s as well. Its the easiest caliber to reload ive ever come across. A massive variety of powders and .429 bullets are available literally everywhere. I would like it if they brought back 375 win or 35 rem.
Hell yeah, another lover of the 444, I love mine without a shadow of a doubt my favourite gun.
@@The_Bushman
Yeppers I’m a True 444 Junkie!
Ive got a 444 ..fav hunting rifle...deer moose bear....T Rexs😀
3 bucks a shot up here in Canada 😵💫
I have a Remington Marlin 45-70 composite with stainless steel. It's definitely my favorite gun. Not a blemish on it and it fired perfectly. But with that said I love Ruger and would love to own one of these as well. Ruger seems to go out of their way to produce quality. And I appreciate that!!
Glad to see Ruger taking the Marlin under it's wing. My first real gun purchase was a model 336 in 35 Remington, I loved that gun. Unfortunately, it was lost in a house fire and was never replaced. I recently purchased a Henry in 38/357 as a birthday present for my youngest and it has me longing for a replacement for my old Marlin. Hopefully, Ruger will produce pistol caliber lever guns because I'd love one in 44 mag.
Remington had cleaned up their production before the company closed. We had some nice tight ones come through a few years ago. I hope Ruger gets back to making that model in .44 mag.
My Remerlin 1894 in .44 is a wonderful gun with none of the issues others have noted. I bought mine new in 2012.
Not in the market though want to see one in .357 magnum. Could go nicely with my stainless 686.
My 2017 production marlin 45-70 guide gun is flawless. Action is nice.
Was it freedoms group or something like that that ruined Remington and also h and r firearms?
Ruger; longer barrels, balck walnut, deep blue, octagon and/or half octogon, traditional level loop.
Had a standard marlin 45-70 in the 80s great rifle smooth and accurate from day one. Sold it to Captain for elk in Canada he loved it. Bought a Remington version a few years after they bought them waited ti they could get the sights on top of barrels. Took a lot of work to even get it to function at all let alone smoothly, wasn't near as accurate but 3" plus at 100 yards. The old one shot 3 rounds touching with iron sights at 100 yards no matter who was shooting it! Hope Ruger keeps quality up.
Awesome looking rifle and a hard hitting round. You can’t lose with this combo 👍
I picked up a Remlin 1895GBL a few years ago and I've been favorably impressed. Fit, finish and function all good. Not perfect but close enough for me. Glad to see this rifle back in production, always puts a smile on my face when I shoot it. If you don't have a 45-70, you're missing out on quite an experience.
I'm got a Remlin 1895 SBL just like in this video, and so far I've been happy with it too. Happy to see Ruger pick them up but im also relieved that I am content with the Remington 1895 sbl I have right now
Yep, I think a few early examples and internet lore gave the Remlin a bad rep! That being said, I'm a Ruger slappy, so this is the dream combo for me...
Back just before they went through bankruptcy I got a remlin model 45-70. Had issues with it, took back to store and got a replacement. The replacement had issues but I really wanted to try to make it work. Sent to Remington/marlin 2x and they never fixed it. Then bankruptcy process sped up and it was shipped back to be unfixed and filthy. Got rid of it and bought a Henry all weather 45-70, which is what I should have gotten in first place. The remlin models were brand new and from two different manufacturing dates, had same exact issue and were unreliable. Was easy to see how they went out of business. Horrible customer service experience. Hope ruger does better than Remington did.
@@mallydobb. I'm not seeing a difference just like thick cook said. I have both of these, shot both with same ammo in 4 differing configurations. People claim the Ruger is better. I have not found this 2 be the case. They both shot identical.
@@nova68cutie split stocks, lifters that wouldn't, ejectors out of time or broken out of the box, extractors poorly fit, sights on a can't, what appeared to be disk sander marks where there shouldn't be, ect ect
What a beautiful rifle. Always wanted a 45-70 in stainless steel :-)
I really enjoy the love and enthusiasm he has for all the mechanics of the gun, how it loads, shoots and handles.
I remember passing by the old marlin factory when I visited CT. Lots of manufacturing HQd there, at least used to be. Glad to see marlin doing well.

"The T-Rex gun" - yeah I thought Chris Pratt's rifle was a 45/70 Marlin, glad to see that was reaffirmed.
Always a good day when you see gun videos at 7 A.M if you’re up for work make sure you get that money
I've got a Marlin 1895 that was made in 1971. I bought it from a friend who didn't like the recoil. It doesn't bother me and I love the gun.
This was the FIRST gun I ever bought (Remington version) I absolutely love it and I love how it kicks! Great video. Thanks!
Having a couple of marlin levers, that I adore it's good to see them back ! Thanks as always!
Haven't watched in maybe a year. Trying to just enjoy the content and character, but I hope you're with us for a long time to come. Your son is fortunate to have weekly videos with you over the last decades. Most people don't have that and don't realize what they are missing until it's too late. 👍🇺🇲
After hundreds of rounds I never had any problems with the Remington version. Great rifle.
Haven’t had any issues with mine either. Paid around 1k back in 2017, so I am thankful for that 😂.
Suppressor on a 45-70 like asking my wife to quiet down when she's mad at me haha. I'm just being silly it was quieter. Great video thank you
Sweet rifle - I hope it's as good quality as the old ones!
Always amazes me what a great marksman Hickok is. I shoot from time to time and could never be as good.
Had a Remington produced 1895SBL and absolutely loved it. It was my favourite of all the rifles I owned. It had a Wild West guns trigger kit and after a bit of work with the wet and dry was silky smooth in the action and she thumped like a mule. The new ruger produced rifle does look to have a better finish.
Just when we were hoping to find one at the dealer, Hickock45 comes along and tells the whole world about them!
Love the review on this fine firearm.
Charlie Crum, gunsmith for 50 years, served 4 years in the Marine Corp, lifetime member of the NRA. Member of Isaak Walton gunclub in Leetown WV since he was 17, and my dad, passed away April 4th. The world didn't have many gunsmiths of this caliber. Everyone in the firearm community who knew him, had alot of respect for this man. He will be missed. Love you daddy.
Hi Mike...
I am so sorry to hear about your loss!
Stay strong!
Loosing your father is a major shitshow!
A huge bag of pure hurt!
It is falling from the top of the crap-tree, hitting every shit-branch on the way down...
Your Father sounded like a real stand-up-guy/salt-of-the-earth-type .. Be proud of that! Honor that!...
You will without a doubt be the love of his life!
I am sorry to say that you will never NOT miss him, but you will learn to deal with the pain...
Please remember not to cry, because it is over... but to smile because it happened!
You had him and he had YOU! He will NEVER leave your heart!
@@sneakinggodzilla6328 I appreciate your comments. He was a very stand up man. A proud Marine. He was suffering alot towards the end. I'm relieved that he resting peaceful now. I'm very proud of my dad. He learned gunsmithing from his mentor in the early 60s. And exploded into the firearm community. In 2016 he was invited to a pistol shoot at Mt Weather. He declined because he had to much work to do. The guy called him the following week and said that he won 1st 2nd and 3rd place in that shoot. He said how did I do that? The guy told him 1st and 2nd was won by pistols he built. 3rd was won by a pistol that he tuned up. He told me that story a week before he passed. His mind was still sharp. His poor body, not so much. Thanks again. PEACE ✌
RIP, we have the watch from here!
I knew ole Charlie , bought several k98's from him over the years , I was floored when I heard of his passing , thought ole Charlie would be immortal, wasn't the most organized lol but without a doubt one of the best hole on the wall gun guys I've ever knew
I have a 45/70 that I got in 2000, was a great gun and I still have it, magna ported barrel and I have no problem with this still, was sad when Remington got the company, but I was happy with Ruger picking it up, cool video and keep it coming, thanks
I have the Remington model and have heard they were poor quality from people, but mine has been excellent and feels very well made. Always been a fan of Ruger though, I have a matching super Blackhawk hunter with the same laminated stock. Beautiful pair.
Ordered one months ago, can’t wait for it come in. Also have Henry 45-70 it’s so smooth, and classic looking but the look and beauty of the marlin had me sold since the first time I saw it.
Glad to see Ruger finally getting some out. I do love the 45-7o. I like the 1895 gs model best but i do have a couple different ones. I have the 1895gs in an actual marlin, and a couple Remington editions and I can wait to lay my hands on a ruger model. These are my backup hunting rifles to my Ruger No1 45-70 as well as my all day fun on the range guns.
My fiancées grandpa has an old marlin .357 lever action and it’s amazing. Still smooth and shoots great. One of my fav guns to shoot
Tim is my older brother and he just helped Hickok45 smoke pot . Legendary .
While I personally think traditional blue/walnut rifles are the best looking when you’re comparing guns at the hunting camp, as soon as you actually get in the woods, stainless/laminate finishes make more sense! Great review!
14:25 Hilarious. Missed 4 - 5 rounds on the goat, but the last one hit him right where it hurts 😂
I had to back up and check. Yup. Wiener shot!
I started my journey in firearms with a Ruger PC40 Carbine chambered in .40 S&W. It was factory new but surplus from the USA Border Patrol in Arizona. I added a stainless steel Ruger KP944 as a side arm matched to the carbine so they shared not only ammunition but also magazines. Then the wheel-gun crested my horizon. First was a superb target S&W in .327 magnum with a swing-out cylinder. Feeding my big-bore habit I added a 50th Anniversary Ruger .44 mag and began a love of CAA firearms. I added a stainless steel Ruger Vaquero in .327 mag. On the other extreme of calibers, I first was gifted a Henry lever-action rifle in .22LR. Its companion sidearm is a Beretta Neos in .22LR.
I've been chasing an S&W Model 3 Schofield to add a too-break revolver to the mix. However, they are too expensive and listening to the InRange folks, I've stayed away from Italian repros. Earlier this year a came across an S&W 4th generation top-break revolver from 1904 in .38 S&W. I've identified subsonic rounds to fire, but I'm waiting for a safety inspection.
We'll leave the long guns to another thread.
I have a Uberti 1886 and a Henry all weather 45-70 and love everything about them. Looking a the Marlin SBL now but very hard to find. Thanks for sharing and appreciate your sense of humor and comment.
Es simplemente una maravilla aqui en España es complicado conseguir una herramienta como esa veo tus videos desde hace mucho tiempo muy buenos videos señor 👍
You are an amazing shooter dude. Very impressive
Two minutes in watching the video I see a rough working action barely cycling the rounds, Henry is still the king of lever actions.
I really like your video when you test my absolute favourite Ruger Marlin 45-70. You are very good at showing us the rifle in a fun and informative way. Thanks a lot!!

That was cruel @14:29 After missing the ram a few times, hits him below the belt and drops him. 😂
Such a beautiful gun. I'd love to own a 45-70, never shot one before.
I find Marlin gun slick and fresh for some reason, now that I have inherited my dad Marlin model 60, I love every bit of it, such an unique model
Glad to see Ruger is making the 95 SBL again. Been wanting one for a few years now and with Marlin as a company going away I really thought I missed my chance. Great video!
that rifle looks modern and vintage at the same time
i love it
It's the lever action. It definitely adds a layer to the esthetics.
Hey, it looks like it had a little split in the wood.
I have the Remington 45-70 and it is a great gun. I also got the 30-30 Remington blued and i had to look at 3 of them to get a good tight one. It has the micro groves and is a great gun also. It was sad Remington put some not so good ones out.
Hickok45 did not miss the goat he was digging it’s grave
Seeing things explode through that ghost ring, and then racking the level must be just about blissful.
Absolutely beautiful gun and caliber!! I want one
Those guns are beautiful
I first saw the Guide Gun ads in sports mags back in 2001. A few years later I bought NIB on the web for 413$ Twenty years later it’s still my favorite. Good ole “JM” 45-70.
I love your videos and channel. Watching the fun you have shooting takes me back to my youth.
I load a subsonic 562gr 45-70. Im sure it would sound great out of that new Ruger with a suppressor! Glad Ruger is making them well!
Holy cowww $1,400?? I drooled over these things when they were $800! Wish they’d make a line of regular guide guns with full length mag tubes
After years of lusting over one, I’ll be getting myself one for Christmas now that the market is cooling.
Like Pat McManus liked to say "the 45-70 teaches you how to clap with your shoulder blades" Wellll... maybe with the T-Tex loads available, but my original Marlin SS Guide Guide gun with 430 GC's at 1700 (not even max!) comes pretty close!! Some how I just cant warm up to that new Ruger. That rail is SO out of place! Otherwise, Lovely gun! A 300 LC at 1500 is just pleasant to shoot, and is my main woods walk plinking load. Has already protected me from a carnivorous vicious Woodchuck Horibilus! One shot drop! Has become my favorite woods gun! Glad to see them put a peep sight on it, I have the XS on mine. 45-70 Forever!! Jerry
Hickok my first 22 rifle was a Marlin, glad to see you demonstrating the Martin made by Ruger today I like the big bore rifles , thank you for demonstrating it against the Remington made Marlin.
Looks like there is a slight crack in the stock on the ruger you can see it when John zoom's in, probably why it's not fitting correctly. Great video as always Hickok! look forward to the next one.
Yep, around the 8:30 mark you can see it on the wrist of the stock, just left of the receiver tang. Kinda concerning that it's poorly fit and moving around like that.
I don't mind fitting a stock, unless it's on a brand new rifle that cost 1.4 kilobucks.
A bit of a problem alright. Considering Hickok45 is one of the biggest celebrities in the firearm space on TH-cam, I would of made sure the rifle he was given was flawless in every aspect.
@@eadc888 I kinda thought he'd of caught that too.
Just met Hickok at the TMCA show in Franklin TN. Tall, friendly guy. Was my pleasure.
This man is a god send.Smart, competent, informative.BEST ON TH-cam BY FAR.. Always to the point,great mood and (life is good)...GOD BLESS
I have always wanted to own one of these... really want it in 45-90
I want somebody to bring back the 50-110!
Gorgeous lever rifle and great video as always, cheers from France
This is a rifle I have been wait for, for years.
Ever since I saw Jeremy Renner shoot one in "Wind River", I wanted one. Badass rifle for sure.
Love the 45-70. The only "Government" I trust. Got an older JM 1895 and a BFR revolver. I need an SBL to give me something in between.
No surprise that the quality of this rifle is so high. Ruger has been known for high quality since its inception. Acquiring Marlin was a brilliant move on Ruger's part. Sad to see Remington die, but happy to see the Marlin name thrive despite its former owner's demise. Fortunately, not even Remington could kill them.
Remington seems like the Ford of the gun world.
Ruger/marlin needs to come out with this chambered in .460 and .500 smith&wesson. The bighorn spike drivers are very nice, they are also very expensive 😳!!! I think the marlin might be more reasonably priced. Thanks for the videos!!!
I just got my Marlin 1895 trapper. The thing is awesome! Looks great, shoots great, and the quality is definitely top notch. The skinner sights are great. If it wasn't $3.50 a round right now I would stay out all day shooting it.
Yes the 95 SBL is a handsome rifle in a grizzly stopping cartridge. The 95 SBL is not worth the asking price of over $2000 on GunBroker as of April 13, 2022. At the end of the day The 95 SBL is a lever action rifle produced by an American company for large game. Glad to see that Ruger resurrected Marlin from the dead.
I think they did good with it.
The hallmark of Ruger…ridiculously over-pricing their rifles.
That is such a handsome rifle! Love the style an look a lot.
Wow All you see is Hickoks smiling when it comes to lever guns Great job Thanks for sharing 👍
Bought 2 of these. One will never be fired. The other one has some mileage. Ruger knocked it out the park with this one. My favorite rifle by far.
They are nice so are the next version coming out. I work at the Ruger plant in NC. At work now as a matter of fact, 😁
When are they going to start production on the 1894 models?
@@beijingbiden5931 .... Hopefully by the end of the year. Getting everything set up for them now.
I have a "Remlin" in GBL and it's flawless, so I can't relate to any shoddy workmanship. That being said, I want a "Rooglin" SBL so bad! 45-70 is my absolute favorite.
idk why I'm posting about this but this is the only channel that I can bear to hear about the ads and sponsors without skipping ahead.
I simply like the way you talk and I know you 'have' to say it I don't mind b/c there's so much beauty on that table right now. (yes, even down to the Balistal).
Nice to hear Ruger bought Marlin love my Rugers had a model 77 Ruger 300 Mag , and several Ruger single action revolvers in 357 and 45 cal .
I sold my Remlin after repeated feed/jamming issues. What a POS! Never had any issues with any of my Ruger firearms. Glad they are resurrecting this awesome rifle!
Was it the sbl like in this video? I have it and it works fantastic but I've really seen some horrible ones. It really was hit or miss. I didn't hear of the bad ones until after purchasing
@@ghostriley5728 it was a model 94 in .44 mag so not this rifle. Boy did it fail a couple times. Would lock up and needed disassembly or a gunsmith. Hunting rifle and I lost confidence in it
Jeez I bet so. Bummer man
@@ghostriley5728 yup a bummer but bought it with no research. I got a Henry single shot instead. Less moving parts= less failure
Well i suppose that's fair. Besides who cares as long as you're happy with the rifle. Cheers 🍻
My Remington made Marlin 30-30 had the lever action lock up. Gunsmith told me it was lower quality after Remington bought Marlin. I did kill one deer with it but it’s got to be worked on before I use it again. That 45-70 looks like a fun rifle to shoot.
Yeah my bolt fell apart on me.
I think I still need one of these in my life!!
Ok... O.O I've been watching you for awhile and love when you smoke pot how much clay gets thrown... But now I seriously have to appreciate the perfect hole made without complete obliteration somehow... That was mind-blowing 🤯
I hope to start seeing more lever actions in the store
the ruger stock is cracked on the left side where it meets the receiver
I really enjoy your videos, I always learn something thank you for what you do and your knowledge
"Great gun for da fence". You made me laugh. Good job John.
Would love to have one, but out of my price range. I'll just have to stick with my 1949 Marlin 336RC 30-30
