I have discussed this with the folks at Remington. The levergun was harder to make than they anticipated. The scraped the old tooling, bought modern CNC machinery, and had a long learning curve getting the Marlin right. They are improving. jeff
Was shopping for a lever gun, saw Jurassic World and took posession 1 week later. Beautiful rifle, excellent quality, a work of art as well as quality weapon. 300 or 405 grain shoots a clover leaf ar 50 and 100 yds. Added a Leupold silver scope for these 62 year old eyes and this has become my show and tell rifle. Maybe a little showing off at the range but this really is something different.
+shooterkirk Heh heh...it's the big daddy in my cabinet...gets the same reaction every time I get it out :"PHWOOOAR! CAN I HAVE A SHOT?" I was amazed at the accuracy when shooting 300gn Federal factory rounds. My mates call it the 'pumpkin chucker'. It really is a beautiful rifle.
Jeff: Thought I would take a moment to thank you for all the videos you post. Such a pleasant guy, and a joy to listen to. The 45-70 has sparked my interest, and seeing it in action is very helpful. Hope you have a great summer, and thanks again!
Great video! My dad introduced me to this gun when I was 15. Truly an eye opening experience when I stepped up from my Marlin .22 at the time! Thanks for sharing
Sure enjoyed the demonstration for this fine rifle. Thanks for using good music, and NOT the typical annoying heavy metal junk that a lot of gun videos tend to use. Merry Christmas AND Happy New Year!👋🎅
BTW, this is awesome to finally be able to watch videos of Jeff. I've been reading his reviews since either late 2000 or 2001, I forget which. TH-cam is great as part of the process of vetting calibers/guns you may be considering for purchase.
Also, I have a Marlin 1894 .45 Colt (standard model with 20" round barrel, NOT the Cowboy version) made in November of 2010 bearing the "REM" stamp on the barrel that I presume designates a post-buyout Marlin, and I'm quite happy with it, with only a very small gap on the underside of the tang with the wood inletting, but everything is tight, smooth, and accurate.
It is both. It was originally a black powder cartridge, when black was the only powder available, but the 45-70 made the transition to smokeless along with most other cartridges in the late nineteenth century. However, still today, many shooters prefer black for long-range competition. Jeff
i myself have an 1895ss love this piece. seems to be the one that goes with me no matter what regardless what the situation is. handles like a dream and is far more accurate beyond my skill set. if i had one firearm i had to choose from this would be at the top of the list. love it!!
Marlin is back...bought a 45-70...and it is perfect....no complaints at all...some people are still twisted about them....lol. get over it people...and and enjoy a beautiful rifle....marlin is the best..
Seconded on Jeff's recommendation on the Marlin 39A. If you don't mind spending a bit more, it's worth it. I've had mine since 1984, and it remains my pride and joy.
I love it when you show lever guns on this channel and I have a hankering for one chambered in 308 win. I haven't seen one on the channel yet and would appreciate it. Keep on doing what you doing thanks have a good one and God bless.
Henry makes a beautiful accurate rifle. I love mine and wouldn't trade them for the world, but don't underestimate a Marlin. The 336 is one of the best rifles ever made. Same goes for the .45 .70 Marlin models. The side loading aspect is key. Great video!
I agree, but it is getting better. The fit and finish are not as good as it was thirty years ago, but it is improving over what it was two years ago. Hopefully, they will get it right. I have a meeting with the Marlin folks next month, and we will discuss this topic at length. Jeff
I just bought a Marlin 45-70 GBL, "the blued barrel" same capacity. I shot it for the first time today, this being my third gun I dont have much experience with other fire arms but what a great gun. Really nice feel.. Im a sucker for lever action anyway.. GREAT VIDEO, I always look for your reviews before I purchase.. keep up all the good information
The Leupold scope has plenty of eye relief, like around nine inches. The sights are the XS lever rail system. Please see the referenced article for more info. Jeff
the purpose af any rifle or pistol is what that individual wants from it...its looks ...accuracy . power...for whatever reason....that's the beauty of so many makes and models and calibers.....and being an American to pic and choose whatever we want..
Thanks for all the excellent videos, they are very informative. I got my 45-70 guide gun 2 years ago and am in love with it. Where we hunt there is a lot of heavy bush so its absolutely perfect. I am very happy with hornady lever rev. ammo because its got more than enough power but I do wish that we could get some buffalo bore or grizzly ammo.
I apologize for the delay in answering. I have been on the road at shooting events in South Carolina and Florida for the past week. I would seek out a used Marlin 44, made at least three years ago, before the Remington acquisition. jeff
By the way Jeff, it's your original review of this rifle that persuaded me that this was a rifle I had to have if that helps you any. I probably would have never heard about it if it wasn't for you. So thanks for the great reviews. Now if I could just get my grubby paws on it.
Chronograph data is listed in the referenced review. 2357 fps ten feet from the muzzle translates to right at 2400 at the muzzle. I chronographed the data myself. Buffalo Bore claims only 2300 from an 18.5 inch barrel, and 2350 from longer barrels, but that is conservative. My test lot of ammo gave 2357 ten feet out, with the conditions shown.
hey Jeff, another great vid. the only thing holding me back from buying the guide gun was the capacity.. looks like marlin has solved that problem with another fine quality bush gun..
Like that vest boy... I've been riding a street bob since they came out, like the plain vanilla look of them. That rifle is good bear medicine if they show up near the house. Had a problem with one several years ago, we had young children staying with us at the time, and they of course liked to play outside in the woods. Wish I'd had one of these and been on the safe side. :-)
I've been thinkin about getting back into hunting. I'm looking at the Mossberg 464 Lever Action .30-.30, the Rossi Rio Grande Lever Action Rifle .30-30 and the Henry Model H009 .30-.30 Lever Action Rifle. Any thoughts on any of these?
I was wondering about scout scopes. everyone saying there better for quick target aquisition but they have a much smaller field of veiw. do you find them quicker on running game etc? can you shoot well with them at longer ranges. are there any disadvantages over the standard eye relif scopes. im lookin at putting one on 30/30 for hogs and being able to shoot ocasional comps with the xs sight same as on the rifle your reviewing. Any info is apreciated
Hello Gunblastdotcom, I just recieved my 45 70. I called Cabelas close to home, asked if they had any in stock, they said no. I then asked if they could check the directory of all the stores. They said ok, checked and found 8, I asked for just one store. Called the store, checked if they had one, asked for them to hold it, gave personel info, then called Cabelas close to home. Asked for them to contact the Cabelas that had the rifle, they did and in two weeks I got a call to pick up
I bought a Marlin .450 back a few for possible grizzly in my tent. However I thought I might like to hunt with it but it jumps very bad! 6" at 25 yards with the hornady evolutions. Sight dropped on barrel at lowest setting. Think a scope has enough compensation? I am thinking of getting a slip on recoil & jump reducer. Ammo seems to be only hornady available. Any ideas?
hello jeff, i was and am very interested in buying a 45-70 marlin guide gun; however, would you say that it would be better to wait or would it be safe to go ahead and buy one?
Hey I'm just wondering, So I am 13 going on 14 in a little over 2 months, and I plan to get a marlin 336 in 30-30, Would you say that at least after your talk it would be okay to buy a new one once more? Or should I just go pre-2009 before they went to assembly lines? One last question, do you know of any leather stock shell holders that would be good for storing 6-8 rounds of 30-30?
Hey I do not know if you will see this message but how is the recoil with this? I consider myself a smaller guy at 140 pounds. I shoot 7mm rem mag no problem standing is this comparable? Thanks.
I picked one of these up a couple of weeks ago and found that it does not like cheap ammo. It likes the Hornady 325 grain. Is there a good ammo just for target that is not so expensive that you would recommend trying?
Hi, I got a few questions, if ya got time to answer them. I'm lookin into gettin a marlin lever action for hunting/survival situations. But I don't know much about them. I'm think I'm set on gettin a marlin, but can't decide on a caliber. I've heard good things about 30-30 and 45-70, but I'm also interested in the pistol calibers also (.357, .44) but I want enough stopping power to take Down a bear, but I also want range and accuracy. Any suggestions would be of great help. Thanks.
Will someone please tell me if you can remove the scope rail from it? If I get one I don't plan on using a scope and I would love to remove that rail. Thanks.
How's the recoil compare to say, a 30-30, 308 or 30-06? I realize the ammunition you use makes a difference, but can you get relatively light loads for whitetail deer? I was thinking of picking up the Guide version of this with the standard bluing.
Why can't I find this rifle anywhere? Everywhere I look has it listed but not in stock. I'm on those "email me when it gets here" lists of several big gun dealers for quite some time and nothing. Anyone know where I can get it?
Verry nice gun! I just picked up(bartered) a marlin .308 mxlr lever stainless and grey stock just like yours and cant wait to throw some rounds through it! Geat videos and greetings from canada! cheers
How does the 45/70 stack up against the 450 marlin? I know that the 450 marlin only has one type of ammo, but I'm talking in terms of power. Any input on this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
sir I'm looking to buy lever action rifle but confuse what catridge I am split between 30.30, 45-70, 444, 450. I want some thing which is a true grizzly stopper and can travel a good distance 200 plus yard. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
No way, I own that exact same flag behind you. I love that flag, every gun owner should have one of them. Nice lever action, I need to get a Marlin 30/30 lever action soon.
I'm really thinking about buying the Marlin 336 in 30-30 for my first lever gun. I believe the 336 is the same as the 1895 but I'm not completely sure. What are your thoughts on the 336?
The .450 Marlin can push a little more energy, since it's a straight walled case with a smaller bolt head, there's less bolt thrust, and the case sticks in the chamber a bit more under pressure. It's pretty much what a high-performance .45-70 should be, at least in Marlin's eyes. Oh, and the extractor is a little bit better on the .450s I've seen, too, since it doesn't have to go over a .6" rim and still fit inside the receiver. Any .45-70 load data or bullet is good for the .450, too.
Just picked up an 1895sbl yesterday. Happy to see remington/freedom group making them right finally. Fit and finish are not far from on par with my old jm marlins.
@Tossdart When training a little with it i saw that it shot better after a while. It takes a little time to get used to the type of recoil it gives i think. I still think red dot sigt is perfect for griz and boar. Its fast if you dont want to use open sights. Or laser at night of course, laser/flashlight. What is 4x Steel lite 2? And what is Magnaport? Exuse me for stupid questions;) /Sophie
I love the Marlin 1895 .45-70. I have the cowboy model; I like the hex barrel and extra round capacity, plus I think it's a little more accurate, with the longer barrel.
I have discussed this with the folks at Remington. The levergun was harder to make than they anticipated. The scraped the old tooling, bought modern CNC machinery, and had a long learning curve getting the Marlin right. They are improving.
jeff
God bless you Jeff you are dearly missed
Dude i love how you add a history lesson on the rifle i think its awsome...
I bought a Marlin 1894 SBL in 44 mag just 2 years ago. The quality has definitely improved since the new ownership. By far my favorite rifle!
Was shopping for a lever gun, saw Jurassic World and took posession 1 week later. Beautiful rifle, excellent quality, a work of art as well as quality weapon. 300 or 405 grain shoots a clover leaf ar 50 and 100 yds.

+shooterkirk Heh heh...it's the big daddy in my cabinet...gets the same reaction every time I get it out :"PHWOOOAR! CAN I HAVE A SHOT?"
I was amazed at the accuracy when shooting 300gn Federal factory rounds.
My mates call it the 'pumpkin chucker'. It really is a beautiful rifle.
Wish people would stop mentioning that shitty movie.

That is my good friend Shannon Hayes. He is a musical genius.

Beautiful! Thanks for this one Jeff!
Only with a lot of practice, and the calm assurance that it was loaded with blanks!

Sweet frickin' rifle, I've been wanting one of these things for a while now. Nice setup with the scope too.
Seconded on Jeff's recommendation on the Marlin 39A.
If you don't mind spending a bit more, it's worth it.
I've had mine since 1984, and it remains my pride and joy.
When Remington moved Marlin production to New York, quality did suffer, but they are getting better now.
jeff
I've wanted one of those for a LONG TIME!
I love it when you show lever guns on this channel and I have a hankering for one chambered in 308 win. I haven't seen one on the channel yet and would appreciate it. Keep on doing what you doing thanks have a good one and God bless.
I found one online and the money order goes out tomorrow.
On a scale of 1 to 10, this rifle is a 12.
They got it all right with this one.
Excellent review!

Thank you for your videos and gun reviews! I see from the responses that you were in FL for an event... do you have vids? I missed out!
Thanks for sharing. That is a fine weapon.
great vid, and awesome vest!
Oh, and the scope is from the Leupold Custom Shop, calibrated to Jeff's favorite 405-grain handload. More on that in the article too.
hey Jeff, another great vid. the only thing holding me back from buying the guide gun was the capacity.. looks like marlin has solved that problem with another fine quality bush gun..

hay jeff, do you know anything about the 450 marlin. i was thinking about a 1895 in this cal and was wanting an expert opinion. thanks
I've been thinkin about getting back into hunting. I'm looking at the Mossberg 464 Lever Action .30-.30, the Rossi Rio Grande Lever Action Rifle .30-30 and the Henry Model H009 .30-.30 Lever Action Rifle. Any thoughts on any of these?
I am also a huge fan, but had only seen prices of $1k. I think $600 might be a bit of a dream. Nice gun, nice video.

I have a good one. Wish I had a bigger one.

Very nice rifle, I love the look of that gun.
I bought one of those last December and I have yet to shoot it. How does it handle?
what do you think about Henry Lever Action riffles any good?
Why can't I find this rifle anywhere?
Everywhere I look has it listed but not in stock.
I'm on those "email me when it gets here" lists of several big gun dealers for quite some time and nothing.
Anyone know where I can get it?
Any experience with the newer Marlin / Remington 45/70 Lever gun?
"Gunfighters in the Plain" by Shannon Hayes & David Blazer. Available on their CD "The Gateway" through Amazon.
How accurate is this round with the scope you put on it? Saw one at Turners for $800.
Verry nice gun! I just picked up(bartered) a marlin .308 mxlr lever stainless and grey stock just like yours and cant wait to throw some rounds through it! Geat videos and greetings from canada! cheers

It's a Scout scope from the Leupold Custom Shop. See the referenced review for more info.
awesome vest harley is the only way to go also what state do you live in brother?
sir I'm looking to buy lever action rifle but confuse what catridge I am split between 30.30, 45-70, 444, 450. I want some thing which is a true grizzly stopper and can travel a good distance 200 plus yard. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Ive got a FX II on mine, love it

How much was it and where did you buy it? Local gun shop or online store?
I love your hideout in the woods. Wish I one like that. my getaway has neighbors now. Although I could probably get them to move :-)
Just picked up an 1895sbl yesterday. Happy to see remington/freedom group making them right finally. Fit and finish are not far from on par with my old jm marlins.
@Tossdart
When training a little with it i saw that it shot better after a while. It takes a little time to get used to the type of recoil it gives i think. I still think red dot sigt is perfect for griz and boar. Its fast if you dont want to use open sights. Or laser at night of course, laser/flashlight.
What is 4x Steel lite 2? And what is Magnaport? Exuse me for stupid questions;) /Sophie
Jeff how do you think an EOTECH XPS and 3x magnifier would run on this?
@ZERVASful can you own guns in greece? just curious,
hey mate whats the accuracy on these like on these?
I love the Marlin 1895 .45-70. I have the cowboy model; I like the hex barrel and extra round capacity, plus I think it's a little more accurate, with the longer barrel.
Guide Gun is a great,powerful and beautiful gun. Can handle any needs you desire...
I got it direct from Marlin. For details, we have a full review in our Archive section.
Jeff
I like the 6 shoot choice. How would you compare this the the Henry ?
Manly gun there 💪🏾!
Hi, Jeff. You told me in a previous message awhile back that you no longer have the SBL. Would you mind sharing as to why?
Very nice looking rifle .
Thats a great looking rifle! If I ever did get that dream job of being a hunting guide in Alaska that would be mine!
@Gunblastdotcom Thank you very much.
