I’ve got a “Remlin” 1895 Dark. Built Dec 2020. Quality is fine. No issues with it. I think there’s been a lot of hysteria about bad quality Remins. Yes, there were some in the early years when they were taken over, but the later made ones are fine.
That’s the sweetest thing… I’d say My personal favorite of all rifles… it’s what I grew up with…
I asked my shop back in 2015 to put this gun on the wish list for me. It took 8 years but I finally got to bring it home Thursday. I paid $1,600 for it, for a while there I started to think I’d never get one as prices shot up super crazy for a while. Now I’m happy I got one of the Ruger made ones as the quality is top notch.
It was in “Wind River” way before any of the Jurassic Park films
Excellent review. You are very fortunate to get in early on this rifle. There is a big wait. Sort of like when they rolled out the Ruger Precision rifle. Great presentation!
Thanks Toadley, I appreciate the kind words.
I believe Marlin was the first to do the "tactical" thing to their lever guns with their Dark series, before Henry did their X series, and Rossi with their Triple Black series. I have an 1895 Dark myself, and it's my favorite gun in my collection.
Another note: the 1895 SBL was also used by Jeremy Renner's character in "Wind River."
Long before the Dark series they did SBL 16 inch barrel
Yes, Jeremy did use that rifle, but pre the changes made with Ruger. I bought the 1895 SBL and had a one-year wait on it a couple of years ago. The screw holding my stock to the receiver worked its way out, so I called Marlon / Ruger to replace it., as of this day of today 2023 there were no parts available, no warranty no support of any kind for the 1895 SBL with a serial starting with MR. The newer ones as stated start with an RM. The fact that Ruger ended it's support for a rifle still viable is irresponsible. I have other Ruger firearms and I think they're wonderful, however in this case of the now 'Marlin' Ruger, they weren't thinking about the people that owned the pre Ruger 1895's. I got mine new only two years ago, and as far as I have been able to tell, no oem parts are available from Marlin/Ruger period. I was on the phone with Ruger support when they told me that. I was so taken back they will not support the 1895 if the serial is not starting with RM, I called back later, and got the same answer. No parts available. That don't seem right.
I like that every part from bottom to top is made in America that’s awesome! I really want one of these because that fluted action and laminate is just so pretty! It’s in a beautiful caliber as well and it’s got a lever action I’m sold 😌 now if only I could acquire one 👀 I definitely got my eye out for one.
Really wish they start making other 1895s instead of just the SBL
Man.
That is a beautiful rifle.
That is the best NEW marlin. The older original CT stamped ones are factory ported, keeps the recoil down so 405 won't break anything. If you scope the gun, get see thru ring mounts so a charging pig doesn't get you.
I was waiting for a trapper model and finally got one a few days ago.
Love mine just make sure a little blue loctite on the loading gate screw . If it loosens up jam feeding
I would love to see this with normal size loop, .454 Casull, slimmer / lighter stock total weight 6.0 lbs., more capacity. .454 Casull 240 - 400 grain bullets avg velocity 1500 - 1650 fps = ME approx 1,800 ft lbs. More than enough for most 100 yard applications. Comparing the cartridges, .45-70 405 grain flat nose produces about the same energy w/ less pressure as any good Corbon load .454 Casull or about 1,800 ft lbs. ME. With 300 grain bullets pushed over 2,000 fps the big gov't round out easily out performs the hot pistol with ME levels 2,800 - 3,400 ft. Nevertheless, having one cartridge for handgun and rifle w/ more capacity in the rifle seems like a distinct advantage. Comments ?
Nice review
I'm really glad to see that Ruger brought Marlin back to high quality. I had not heard that they were 100% American but I'm with you that's an extra Plus! Have you done any accuracy testing yet? I haven't seen any accuracy testing yet on it. One other guy was saying he was doing some but I haven't seen it yet. Supposedly the hammer Ford's barrel should be very accurate. Thank you 👍
100% US made definitely is a plus!
@@chipsterb4946 Yes definitely 👍
What's your opinion on the SBL vs the dark series? Also the Henry Long Ranger.
Are they going to be regularly available?…and how much are Thay going for?
i like that rugerlin almost as much as my Henry 45/70 side loader...almost...
I'm just waiting for the other models
Does Ruger employ any of the original Marlin gunmaker craftsmen ? IE the employees from the Connecticut gunworks
Does Ruger employ any of the original Marlin craftsmen?
I have a gbl and would like to see one like yours with a 22 inch barrel. i can shot mine around ten times then i just put it up.
Who makes that rear sight?
I hope we get these in Europe though we probably won't.
When are the other models coming out?
The 336 should be out sometime this year but Marlin has not disclosed any specifics yet.
Beautiful. Does it come in 30-30 Win?
Not yet
and why am I put on a 2 year wait list?
If these could be had with a steel buttplate (I'm a MAN damnit!), an octagonal barrel, and buckhorn sights, I'd buy one.
It sure is great quality gun but i don't like it's look with the thick pad and barrel longer than the magazine
Old one looked better but just my opinion, i'm lucky enough to own a JM one from 2009
How much did it cost ?
Inquiring minds want to know...
🤔
Well if you buy it off gunbroker $2700 after tax to $3500. If you preorder one from a gun shop its $1200 before tax, but good luck getting one at that price. They tend to put them on gunbroker anyways to get double the price for it.
Got mine today slightly under msrp
@@henryburness3580 where?
i'm in florida and i want to buy an 1895 marlin
I don’t like the fact these guns are being sold for twice as much as the suggested retail price. You can get a Henry for half the price.
Bart unfortunately that is the simple rule of supply and demand. I have nothing against Henry they make a great rifle, but they do not offer near the features or craftsmanship as this new offering from Ruger/Marlin...JMO
Wind river
Pisses me off that dealer are selling a gun with an MsRzp of $1399 for over $3k such bs!
That is the free market man, Demand>Supply.
Supply and demand. But gun broker prices suck balls.
@@rickyflinchum2909 truth!
Don’t care about the review, just tell us where you got it from ( unless it was gun broker)!
Suppressor for 45-70? M-U-Z-Z-L-E B-R-A-K-E
want to sell!?!?
Trigger weight of 6 pounds is too heavy like wtf
Merica!
I’m going to get one of these beauties I’m just glad that it made in America jack Winchester’s at one time were made in Japan
Nothing against Japan I just think that these guns should be made in America
the ugly top rail needs to be an option
