- Hunters and shooters alike have valued Marlin firearms, especially the company’s lever actions, for over 100 years. Now, as we sit poised on the edge of a new beginning for the Marlin brand under Ruger’s ownership and production, Guns.com takes a look at three Marlin rifles needed to hunt any North American game animal.

I'm 71 now, but my first lever action rifle in my 20's was the Marlin 39 Century Ltd anniversary carbine in .22lr. I helped many farmers here in Western Mass dairy & agricultural land by dispatching more Groundhogs or Woodchucks as we call them, than I could count. I didn't consider owning another lever action gun for decades until maybe a decade ago when I bought that .45-70 on your table. Since then I've added a few Henry models to my stable of treasured firearms & I love & trust them all. You are a very eloquent speaker & flawlessly deliver your message in a way that keeps my attention & is entertaining & educational. Keep up the excellent content.
Always, a professional, comprehensive presentation, and the marksmanship...goes without saying.
The Ruger Super Blackhawk and the Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum make a nice combination also.
All great guns.
Hopefully soon Marlin well come back strong and ever better.
They are now owned by Ruger and on the market again
No nonsense reviews is always what we get from your videos. Outstanding !! Had to laugh at the sound of the 45-70 brass hitting the bench; sounded like you were dropping bricks onto the table lol
I am with you. Love Marlin lever rifles. I have 5 of them. 1895GS, 1895SS, 1894 44mag, 336 30-30, 336 35 rem. Great rifles all of them. Great designs, easy to maintain. Outstanding value and performance. I am so glad Ruger picked up the great American Marlin lever rifles.
Thank you thank you for showing correct shooting form and not
lowering and looking at the gun while working the action.
So many lever shooters and especially bolt action shooters today drop the gun off the shoulder, take their eyes off the target to look down at the gun while they work the action, then put everything back up
on their shoulder and have to locate their target again. Then they repeat that for subsequent shots.
Many many these days would do well to watch the shooting on this video to see proper form being used
My first gun that wasn't a milsurp was a Glenfield Model 30 (Marlin 336) that I got at age 15. Loved that thing. Great video!
Kristin, thank you for posting this excellent presentation. We out here in southern California love to shoot our many Marlin lever-action long guns out in the Mojave desert. As such, we call ourselves, informally, the Mojave Lever Crew. There are over 70 of us that share this affliction online through a firearms' message board forum. Three of us are the ones that originally met and went shooting together in the Mojave, and it's just grown from there, because, who?! does not love a good lever-action. We have here in the armory six Marlin: a '51 39A, a 1989 1894CS357, a 1967 336 Texan SRC (in .30-30), an 2007 1894FG, a 2018 (Remlin that needed some love) 1894SBL and my second favorite (next to the 39A) - a 2005 Model 1895GS. I handload for all but the rimfire but will also run a box of commercial fare through them too. So glad to see Ruger's rescue of Marlin and one day we will add a Ruglin to our group. Thanks again for speaking directly to our hearts!
Awesome history on that table and also excited to see what ruger does
i would like to see ruger come out with the marlin cowboy 1895 45-70
Recently found your videos.. great job reviewing the guns! Please do more! Honest and down to the point!
Cool video. I am a Marlin lever rifle guy. I have 5 of them.... 2 336, 30-30, 35, 2 1895 SS, GS, 1894 44mag. All are JM and all are iron sights. I am 71 now and my eyes are still hanging in there. Love my Marlin lever rifles. TY MH
Kristin, just discovered your channel... love your presentation style, depth of knowledge and real American narrative... be safe and keep on keeping on!!
Good job MS. Kristin. Love to see a 350 Legend from Ruger Marlin if they can do it in a lever gun. 👍
It's nice to see someone receive joy from simplicity! Everything doesn't need to be complicated! 🤠
Great job, Kristin! Clear, concise and straight from the heart. 👍
Kristin, thanks, one of the better reviews. I enjoyed hearing about your 3 selections and why.
Howdy Kristin. Ii have a model 39, a 39A, and an 1894 in ,44 mag/spec. Don't need anything bigger in Missouri. Great video!
I agree and concur! Got all three models covered and love every one of them! Thank you for this wonderful presentation!!
My dad gave me a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag for my birthday when I turned 15 and it was a trusty hunting rifle for over 40 years and I never missed with it. Well, I passed it down to my oldest son on his 35th birthday. My dad, in his mid 80s now, is still a big Marlin fan and has about 4 hanging on his wall. I still laugh that the last Marlin he bought is in 45-70; after his "sighting in" session he retired it as "we don't have anything around here that needs that much killing"! I haven't seen many Marlins in gun stores for a while but I am feeling a bit anemic in the .44 calibers. I have become a Henry fan of late acquiring .357/.38 and .45-70 exemplars of their line and, well, they ain't bad.
Love your reviews Kristin! One of most favorite rifles in the Vault is my Marlin 1894 SS .44 👍
All the above. Especially the 1894 chambered for .327 Fed Mag to be a companion rifle with the revolvers Ruger already makes in .327. Also, want to see the Marlin rimfire rifles with tubular magazines to come back. I think tubular magazines make more sense with rimfire calibers than centerfire calibers.
I love your video presentations. Your content, enthusiasm and attitude is awesome. I have a Marlin Dark 1895 in .444 Marlin and it is one of my very favorites. It does kick a bit but it packs a serious punch. My .444 with a Leupold tactical 1-4x illuminated brings that 100 yard target right in there and I get great accuracy at that range with it. Thank you.
I would like to see Ruger build Marlin 336ER in 307 Win, 308ME, 338ME, 348 Win, 35 Rem, & 356 Win, as well as the 30-30, 375Win, and the old 25-20. Even if Ruger would take a special order for any of these above, it'd be great. Hard to beat the old .444 Marlin and 45-70 Govt too.
Great video. Super informative and presented with honest knowledge and genuine passion. Subscribing now.
Always like your informative videos and your quite a marksman
I love to see ruger bring back 1895 45-70 and 444 marlin and 336 in 35 remgtion
I'm waiting for a 39A. Thanks for the video it was very informative.
I LOVE Listening to Her excitement as she explains these wonderful Rifles.
Ruger is reintroducing the 336, 95 guide gun, and the model 60 about now. Mid december. Bonus.
They are changing the rifling of all center fire rifles to Ballard style, and hammer forged at that! Right from Ruger CEO!
I have a Marlin 881 purchased new in 1994 and love it. Bolt action, tubular magazine and feeds .22lr and .22 shorts dependably. It has the 'JM' engraved on the barrel, walnut stock and was manufactured before Marlin was sold. Don't see it mentioned much on the net. Thanks for this well-presented video on the 45-70.
Your prestations are excellent
I have 2 marlin 30-30. A 444. On my wish list 35 rem. And 45-70. One of my 30-30 is a 336 made in 1951. Still works perfectly!!! Love my levers !!! Awesome video!!
Luv your vids!
Glad to see you on another video. I really liked the one where you compared the Remington made Marlin Dark Series all weather 1895 45-70 to the Henry X model. It was so obvious at that time how superior the Marlin was to the Henry. I am partial to Marlin lever guns in 45-70. Remington made the best Marlin lever guns ever!!
I love all of those but one that I would add to that list is a 336 a 24 inch barrel 35 Remington with a receiver aperture site. Thank you 👍
Interesting picks they are awesome guns
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION
Marlin fan my whole life!❤️
I have the Marlin 444 and 1894 45-70 guide gun. I love them both!
Thanks!
Glad Ruger is keeping the Marlin Brand alive. Solid vid as usual 👍🇺🇸
Awesome video
Great video and shooting, Kristin. Perry P., SoCal
Great video
I want to get my hands on a vintage Marlin 45-70 with the long octagon barrel, that is my dream rifle. I have a few vintage 30-30 Marlin rifles and one old Winchester 30-30 but that 45-70 has been out of reach so far. One day I will be able to finally own that masterpiece. Thanks for the video.
I'd like to one in 356 winchester
Yes me too, i hope that they do a special run on that caliber..IT WOULD MAKE MY DAY...i love ALL the 35's....but the 356 is the only one i am missing...and if i could get one with a hammer forged barrel BRAND NEW...WOWZA..would i be one happy camper.
@@pbeaman8231 For girls. I own a '99 Savage in .358 Winchester.
Great video what do you think about the marlin 336 in 35 Remington?
Love the sound of that 45-70 !!! That is definitely the gun I'm going to be watching from ruger this year!!! Love my 444 but can't wait for the 45-70.
Damn girl lol. Them lever actions work just fine without slamming that lever back and forth. 😁
Liked your video and I love my Marlins.
Kristen! Thank you for the video on the older Marlins. I have an older Marlin 39D Can you help me locate the owner's manual and any other information on this beauty. It's been stored for a very long time and I would love to take it out. Appreciate any help.
The 1894 is just right for the woods in Pennsylvania where you can't see farther than about 75 yards.
Nice shooting 👍👍👍
I’d love to see Ruger bring the .444 Marlin and a .38-55 in a the same 22” barrel 2/3 magazine configuration.
I am really hoping to see a 444 Marlin rifle come back in a Ruger-made Marlin.
I really wanted a new papoose just before it all hit the fan for marlin, but a 16 inch 94 in .357 would be cool also. They could bring back the midget also
I bought a 336mxlr in 338 marlin express and that quickly became my favorite rifle, a round that compares to a 30-06 180 gr. Round an can beat the 308 is an overlooked marlin round and deserves more shooting time....
Well done. Bravo😘
I've owned 3 Marlin 35s. I now have a 450 Marlin. The 450 round will withstand higher pressures and yields ballistics a little better.
Waiting for Ruger to resume production of the Marlin Model 1895 SBL so I can get one, only problem is the ammo availability.
And high costs
It would be great if Ruger would bring out a Marlin in 327 Fed. Mag. the 1894 platform would be perfect.
The ten thumbs down are angry males that can’t outshoot this lady . Great presentation. The best.🇺🇸
Not sure why they would dislike maybe Winchester fans or dislike her voice possibly
IMPRESSED WITH YOUR AFRICAN BIG GAME HUNT BE NICE TO SEE THE 444 COME BACK
I have an old 94 in 38/40cal. it shoots great with Unique powder and .401 home cast bullets
I love my 39a Mountie and my 444. Both are JM stamped. I would like to see Marlin make an affordable lever action 500 smith. Preferably one that is cut and with the proper twist to shoot bullets weighting up to 700 grains. That would go perfectly with my revolver. That would greatly out shine the 444 or 45-70 from my point of view.
I love that 39a love to get my own one day
Ruger will have cold hammer forged barrels on Marlins . But I'm keeping my 336 30-30
Great grouping!
I have an 1895 chambered in 45/70 with the great American walnut! Its the 45/70 Classic! Just wish they had a full length magazine? lol can only fit 4rounds in it? Or 4+1 hehe still if im nervous and a bear or big hog is charging id want 6 or 8 in the chamber ,just in case! lol great video and great selection of rifles! P.S. my other lever gun is a Henry chambered in 357mag! hehe
I emailed the CEO of Ruger and asked him to please bring back the model 39.
I have Ruger Model 96 in 22 mag and I do believe it's more accurate then my Marlin.
That was impressive accuracy on the 45-70. That would be impressive even for a single shot 45-70 much less a lever action. Was that a Remington era or Marlin? I think on the 1894 I would rather pair it with 357 Magnum and a Smith & Wesson model 19 357 Magnum / 38 special. But the 44 mag is awesome too. I grew up with the 39a it just doesn't get any better than that in my opinion. I have the receiver mounted aperture site on mine and it is amazingly accurate and extremely intuitive off hand. Thank you 👍
Nice set. I can't help thinking there needs to be room in there for a 32-20 with Ballard rifling.
Would be curious as to what aspects of the 39A make it a better rifle than the Henry.
Machining.
I am looking forward to Ruger reintroducing the brand, hope there are great and carry on Marlin’s tradition.
I wish they’d make the 79a again
When Marlin was sold to Remington and moved to the Remington plant that was the end of Marlin. Marlin used to make great quality guns but Remington ended that. I hate that Marlin went to Ruger. Ruger makes lower quality guns these days and they have absolutely no quality control. I'm amazed at how flawed some of Ruger's guns are that I've see lately. They should have never left the factory.
Boa tarde amigo. Aqui no Brazil começaram a vender pistolas e revolver da Ruger, e não temos experiência com esta marca. Estava pensando em comprar uma pistola modelo American Pistol e com os seus comentários fiquei preocupado. Você acredita que não seria uma boa compra? Muito agradecido se puder opinar.
Not sure why you saw bad rugers. I have several new rugers and they’ve been great. I’m waiting to see what Marlin has in a 44 mag, I hope it will be good.
It's possible their march for 3 million guns campaign rushing stuff out the door as well as more plastic now and old guard not there now
Never been wild about the Ruger auto pistols except for my .22 target which is excellent (except taking it down putting back together though they have since fixed on this model). I also have a .44 carbine semi-auto, a mini 14 and an SP 141 (which is a souped up 101) which is finished as nicely as a Python. I have found the quality in all to be excellent. I am a SIg/Glock man when it comes to defensive or competition pistols but if you ever saw or shot my Marlin Dark you would want one.
I would like them to bring back some old cartridges like the 25/20 32/20 in some in some cowboy limited in 24” barrel
The Marlin cowboy 45-70 is the sasquatch hunter!
I would love to see them Bring the 39A back. I would love to see them offer it in a fully hand checkered hardwood stock with figured walnut stock! Always wanted one?
Can you shoot cast bullets in these rifles
I hope Ruger has a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. The .35 Rem has a lot more power and guts than the .30-30. Currently Henry chambers the .35 Rem, but I prefer Marlins. Count on the 1895 to be chambered in .444 Marlin which is the Super .44 Magnum. It has big time lever gun power even if it's not as versatile as the old .45-70.
Love the Marlins! 😎
Can’t wait for the new Marlins
I would like to see model 1895
This country needs Marlin manufacturing firearms again, plain and simple..
That was a monster crocodile!!
I want to see either a stainless and threaded 1894 or 39A chambered in 327 federal magnum. In either case, a side loading gate is a must. Pipe dream: the 1894 chambered in autoloader calibers (10mm?)
I put red dot optiics on my lever guns for quick target pickup in thick forest.
Marlin 39A is a fine .22.. the Winchester 9422 (M) XTR is considered the finest .22 rimfire lever gun
I'm with yeah gal, I LOVE LEVER ACTION!
#2 & 3 are my choices...
I just want the to kick out the .22 LR and the .357 calibers. Two of my favorites to carry hunting and so much
fun to shoot.
We have many marlins ..love every one of them from moose to elk , deer antelope these rifles bring all of them even bear to our freezers not a problem bullet placement is key 4570 government...and the 44 and 3030 those are the best loads for heavy game..?
Love all three but if i could have only one , 45-70
Ruger says they're going to bring back the center fires hopefully later they will bring back the rim fire
Me to
You should measure that group almost everybody measure Center to Center I'll bet you it's way closer to 3/4 inch group looking at it on film
I want a reintroduction of the 9mm Camp Carbine
It is a great opportunity for lever action fans (me included), Marlin levers what ever model are extraordinary shoots, I have 3, .444,35 Rem and 357. All shoot as well or better than your 45-70.
Ruger will I believe do better than Remington quality wise and I hope they bring back all of the old favorites, and also the newer short-lived chamberings such as the 308 Marlin and 336 Marlin,
as I believe the reason they were not a success was due to quality issues from Remington rather than the cartridges themselves.
love the 444 Marlin. Terribly underrated cartdridge
