Lever Gun Review! Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ค. 2020
- Compact with a big bark, it's time we take a look at the fabulous Marlin 1894. Of course I had to get in .44 Mag, a beloved cartridge for me. We take it out in the snow and the heat to see how this stainless, laminated wood big bore performs.
TaticalDoodle and Sean the TNPr help and both fall in love with the gun too. TD is here for the review too; I have to hold him back from his LockTite rant.
We find this iteration of the 1894 to smooth, fast, adequately accurate, and just plain cool. A vintage Marlin 336C in .30-30 is present as we bounce briefly to POU. Other versions and calibers are discussed. We do love the .44 Mag but we won't gush here acting like it's our first choice.
We probably shot this gun a bit much for the review but we find it addictive as we do with all good lever guns. Downsides are present and they're discussed. The 1894 ain't cheap and that would be primary. But in the end you'll see how Marlin is still putting together one the baddest and coolest lever guns out there...still!

Hi TNPrs! Project still strong and working hard thanks to TNP Patreon. Remember TNPP gets the videos first and some never post on the main channel! Here's some TNPr comments from Patreon, join the fun and full flow of TNP content: www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy
"Dudes! Nutn & TD thanks a ton for the OSW review. This was very refreshing. If anyone ever discounts the capabilities of a lever gun, I encourage them to watch some Cowboy Action videos on YT. Those guys can shoot them soooo fast, granted they’re light 38 spl loads, it shows that the guns still have a ton of potential. A serious competitive option would be the Henry Model X in 44 or 357. They now have side loading capability, they come with polymer MLOK furniture and you can find them for $750 (you have to look really hard). This may have been filmed prior to the Model X release though. As always excellent content! 1w Tacticaldoodle Well, fast to shoot, but very slow for most to load. You can practice but there's a learning curve and it's not something I think I'll do all that well if I'm takin' fire. If only there were some kind of speedloader kinda like shotgun tubes. 2 1w Load 2 replies Arthur Krieger Siiick gun! Glad to see Marlin is putting out quality! 1w Leif52Pickup Dang it, I really want this and an accompanying revolver. Just too cool. 1w Kenny VanCleave I have one in 45/70 and it rocks. I bet, without taking my shoes off I harvested at least thirteen bucks with my Marlin 1894. It has the beautiful stainless steel frame and the gray stock. One of the best purchases I've made./////////Alexander Brittain Not the 10mm review I was hoping for. But it is worth a watch none the less. 1w The Nutnfancy Project I got a 10mm pistol review I'll edit together for ya~ It was filmed in the desert, hopefully the audio is ok~ just now EthanRX Great review guys thanks for the content! Might have to pick one of these up soon. I have a Ruger 44 carbine that was my mentors who passed away so I don’t like to shoot it too much. This could scratch my 44 rifle itch quite nicely! 1 1w Patriot Love the tabletop! Don't get me wrong the bunker is cool, but I love the tabletop format. 1 1w The Nutnfancy Project Thank you, glad to hear that too! just now Outrider950 I had both the Winchester 94 Trapper and the Marlin 1894P chambered in .44. They were sold off many years ago to close friends. I found that I just wasn’t shooting them anymore. And then you post this.....argh...now I want another one. I really don’t like you. 1 1w Tacticaldoodle If you're function-first, you'll appreciate the ability to mod the newer ones. Having a sweet red dot is awesome on them, and that' not even mentioning the sweet sights now. No dickin' around with modding older ones and worrying about threading it wrong. 7d Load 1 reply POIsuit47 Another lever action review! Nice!! I always loved lever guns, something cool in my opinion bout old age weapons. And this one and others are definitely on my list to buy! I also wonder if for my first rifle it should be a lever gun such as this or a proper semi-auto.... hmmm 1 1w Ryan Benn I've wanted a marlin 1894 for a long time and now it has a nutnfancy stamp of approval. I'd prefer the 30-30 but my state has restrictions on hunting with that cartridge. 1 1w The Nutnfancy Project I will be reviewing the Marlin 336 Dark Ops too! In .30-30 it will be hunting legal. It did not like the S&B flat nose bullet but others worked great. 1 7d Colin Ford Fantastic video Nutn and TD!! 1 1w Jacob Hurst Wind River was such an excellent movie! Glad to hear the shout out to it! 1 1w Zachary Jackson Hey nutn... remember when we all had guns and marched on the Utah Capitol and no one got shot or hurt and there was no property damage? 1 1w The Nutnfancy Project Yeah I do remember that. Apparently the Marxists can do that and a lot more. Like painting inflammatory political symbols on the streets and killing children. I don't see pushback on it either except from us small voices. 1 7d Plumber Angelo The levergun is real! Man she is nasty, old school cool. 1w Ricky Kurtz Hey LTC, I own several Marlin level guns and enjoy them all. I last year purchased a Marlin Guide gun model GBL in .45/70, installed the picatinny rail and a Vortex Scout scope, Diamond D leather Butt Cup, Diamond D D4 large lever leather loop wrap, and a Turner 1.25” Leather Match sling and really enjoy this rifle. I have had a Marlin 1895s in .45/70 for years that I use for protection against bears in the Mountains above Ojai California up above Rose Valley between the 6500 and 8000 foot level. Never had to use it to protect against a bear but it was way cool shooting. Load used are 430 Gr hard cast lead. Sorry, but I disagree with you on scout scopes. On lever guns in the woods I find I can acquire a target faster and not worry about scope eye. Terrific presentation, thank you and your team for your hard work putting these presentations together. Ricky from IBM 1 1w The Nutnfancy Project Great comment Ricky, thanks. No worries on the disagreement...it's approved! The .45-70 is a rocking cartridge. I don't have a need for that in my systems but in AK I'd probably put one in inventory. Most fishing guides in Brown Bear territory are using 12 ga with slugs up there. 2 7d Chris Marchi Very nice 7d Ricky Kurtz Hey LTC, Thanks !!! When I do not feeling like fielding a rifle I have 2 4” S&W 500 Magnums, on a Galco/S&W leather rig, and one 8” S&W 500 with a S&W scope(not the best scope and was pulled from the market because the concussion would break the reticles). These guns were purchased the 1st month of production. Typically loaded with a750 Gr hard cast lead projectile traveling between 1350 and 1400 fps. The Marlin rifles are the best. I have a 336C as well and would not part with my Marlins for love or money lol. Really enjoy you presentations, I alway learn something. Again thanks to you and your team !!! Ricky from IBM 1 7d Tacticaldoodle Them five hundos will probably be worth a pretty chunk soon enough. The original bear scrollworked S&W's were unappreciated upon release, I expect similar in the future. Seems like most guys who bought the 500's just for range fun seldom hold onto them for long, ultimately they'll end up being rare enough to build scarcity in the right sizing. The short ones with the orange pelican case were rad, but I haven't seen one in years. 3d Zachary Jackson Tim Vetere says they may have watermelons in about two weeks or so 7d Zachary Jackson PSA for old school IHF TNPers 7d Joshua kinnunen The moment I saw a lever gun on the table, before any voices could be heard, I said “TD needs to be in on this one” - Win! 5d Bluegill097 Lever gun Nirvana in TNP! freaking awesome 5d Bismarck Stripper clips guides are available for the mini-14, I can't speak to how good they are. 5d Tacticaldoodle Part of the fun would be the experience of opening it up like a break action shotgun. Every kid with a breaker 20 gauge pretends he's shooting grenades out of it like the terminator, an AR would combine the fun of that with a garand action. Dunno why, just seems like it would be a good feeling nailing a speed load like that. 3d Casey Jones Great review, glad you aren’t overlooking Marlin. They aren’t the most popular name but have been around forever 3d Mike Maddox Henry has side loaders now."
HOW ABOUT A REVIEW WITH A LIMB SAVER ON THIS GUN OR EQUIVALENT?
limbsaver.com/pages/recoil-pads-showcase
Guy from Jurassic Park then wouldn't have had the T. Rex for the massive Deus Ex Machina for the end.
Henry is making a side loader now as well... Even has a tactical fore end
Damnit nutnfancy I was literally at the gun shop yesterday fondling one of these and thinking it over and passed! I guess I've got to go back now! Damnit!
@@belowme4927 you shouldn't need to reduce the recoil on a pistol round in a rifle, it's pretty mild
Levers make me soooooo happy. I have a Marlin 336 in 3030 that I'm just in love with.
Not as happy as a fast flying Boner makes me
Got one made in 1956, 336 sc
2 thumbs up 👍 👍 maybe even 3 oh what to hell 👍
The 30-30 is my second favorite lever cartridge. I’m taking my .35 Remington first.
Me too. My 336 has always been my favorite rifle.
I have the 1895 SS
45-70
And The Winchester model
In .44 mag
Love them both
Bought them back in 2000
Wow 20 years ago
"Beware of a old man with a lever gun" LOL, Quote of the Year
Beware the man with one rifle.
I like that one better.
“Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young.” That’s another version
Bob Sullivan and what profession would that be nowadays?
Beware an old man with a flatulence problem. I’m lethal myself.
Beware the man who has but one gun; he likely knows how to use it.
Col. Jeff Cooper
My lovely wife surprised me with this same model in 357/38 this year, I love it. Beautiful gun
Lucky man.
Bought one of these last year here in the UK, actually think it might be my favourite gun, great fun! 😀
Nothing will ever be cooler then a lever action.
Bought this gun in 45-70 as soon as I seen it in Jurassic World absolutely love this! Ten gold stars to Marlin and 100 gold stars to you guys for the review!
I need to shoot mine! I had the ruger trapper in 45-70 as well. Never made it go bang yet.
Love this gun. Definitely need one in my life. Thanks as always boys for the most excellent review.
This was a FANTASTIC review guys. Seriously just got out of work and being midnight, relaximg, watching and awesome TNP review on such a cool gun is the best!
These seem to be selling well in Canada right now. As someone who's run into bears in the bush, this would be the perfect carry rifle for many, not to mention a wide array of other scenarios.
Why would you carry a 44, when you can get a 45-70 for the same price? Just asking from one Canadian to another. The price of the ammo?
@@johnturner5893 Valid question. I have an 1895 Big Loop that fits that role, but I would like a .44mag for less expensive reloading and plinking (not to mention mild recoil for the latter). I might instead look at a .38/357 for that, but the .44 still seems appealing as I would prefer the extra power for deer and it could double for bear defence if I am not carrying the 45/70.
Here in mid michigan we can only use straight walled cartridges due to population. 45-70 is too big apparently lol
Great review guys!.. I live in Fresno, California so this is one of my favorite platforms! Your Marlin 1894 needs a leather sling though..
- Such a beautiful & sophisticated tool...
P.S. "Wind River" is a Great movie!...
44 Mag Lever action and 44 Mag revolver loaded up with SJHP 44 Specials. Can never go wrong. I still am blown away by how under-utilized the .44 Special cartridge is and how it isn't as popular as some others. You can get similar to .357 power, greater wounding, while remaining at lower pressures; quieter, less recoil - obviously more than .38 Special, but less than .357. It's a pleasure to shoot - like .45 LC.
Or try 44mag load with cast bullets and Trail Boss good fun load for plinking.
@@thehopperhopes6365 Yep, I use .432 softer cast bullets with 5.5gr Unique for target use, loaded a bit shorter oal though.
Cost. Thats its only downside. I have 4 357s. Its a great cartridge an fairly inexpensive to load.
Such a great review, I keep finding myself referencing it often, thanks NF
This was my first gun when I turned 18. It was when Marlin was having quality control issues and maybe they still are. The gun was finicky with ammo and screws would frequently loosen up and fall out. It only ever liked Magtech. Sold that thing long ago and now I have a JM stamped .357 which I love very much.
A year ago I bought a raffle ticket who's proceeds went to an LE charity, and won this same rifle!
I've had a bunch of people ask to buy it from me but I'm keeping it. I added a red dot, a leather wrap to the lever, a leather shell holder on the stock, and finally, a simple leather carry strap.
I sighted both the dot, with qd lever, and irons at 50 yards. The gun shot beautifully. I found Hornady 240gr XTP to be the most accurate of the ammo I tried.
And I also had the rail come loose while sighting in.
**Raises hand** I purchased it as a bear gun when I got to Alaska, last year.....
My first rifle ever was a new Win 94AE in 44 mag when I was 12. 1988. Took countless pa whitetail with it. Holds 10+1. Used peek through mounts and a cheap bushnell 3-9 on it. Guess what, still have it and still love it. It throws 180 hp over 2000fps...some almost 2100. So light and handy
Bought a 1894 Dark in 357 Mag. Absolutely love it! Pairs nicely with my Chiappa Rhino 60DS.
I love my semi guns, but lever actions are my favorite. I don’t know what it is about them, they just feel so right!
Working the lever is as addictive as popping bubble wrap!
I prefer levers too.
Great Review. Got my 1895SBL in 45-70 a while back and absolutely love it. 45-70 is a great reloading round, has such a wide range of loads you can do.
Absolutely love it, dead nuts accurate, and hands down my favorite to shoot. Can't recommend this rifle enough, I will never get rid of this. LFG!!!
Nice review. It's true, once you have all your tactical stuff squared away you start looking in other directions.
It's been a while since a flashlight review, knives and watches are cool but flashlights are also important.
Just did an update on on of if not THE fave, the Olight Sr2. I gotta grab more surefires for NF to try. I love the U.S. manufacture, I just feel like a dummy spending so much. It's a bummer talking to someone buying them for an L.E contract. You'll probably see more coming up, soon enough. I'm dead set on building a clone HRT and URG-I set and I'mma need some then. -Doodle
1894 was my first deer rifle, in 44 mag. It was the blued version back in the early 80s. I used to think it was too weak back then and bought a Ruger M77 in 30-06. But these days with loads like Underwood and Buffalo bore, it does anything I would need down here in Georgia. As much as love it though I will be buying the Marlin dark series when it becomes more available at a reasonable price :)
My Marlin 1894P (44 mag, 16" ported bbl) is my favorite gun. I've put XS ghost ring sights on it, which fixes the main drawback: those useless buckhorn sights. Only other improvement I want to make is a large loop lever. It's a ton of fun to shoot.
Nice review! Living large in a restricted state here.....so I have two levers....45-70 Henry with a pic rail and red dot for some heavy hitting..... and my absolute favorite gun.... my Winchester 1873 Short Rifle in 357 mag in the color case hardened finish.... I can just sit and marvel at it for forever....the sleekness of the foregrip....the fit and finish on the steel and wood. Best Movies with levers in them were the old time westerns....Winchester '73 for example.
The first center fire rifle I ever shot was my uncle's 336 in .35 Remington. I was amazed by the feel of that gun. Later in life I became obsessed with the .44 Magnum caliber, so the 1894 became my object of desire. But I was shopping in the Obama years and there were none to be had. When I did find one, it happened to be an 1894PG, which has the pistol grip like the 336. I had no idea how lucky I got. Turns out they only manufactured the PG for two years, so I dumb lucked into a collector's item. Still my favorite firearm. My daughter loves it too. Especially how handily it dispatches watermelons! 😁
I absolutely LOVE lever guns. My first, that I still have, is a marlin 3030 deer gun. Love love love this gun
Awesome video thank you guys. Nice to see some history and the history lesson thank you
Love levers! I got a BLR on your rec and it is my goto hunting rifle...and shooting 358 win...it makes a hell of a offensive carbine
The BLR was the only good lever-action I've ever shot.
Between the Win '73, '87, '92', 94, and Marlin '94, they would either jam while performing basic functions, or cut you with jutting pieces of metal, either inside the gun during jam clearing, or outside the gun from sheer bad quality.
Not the BLR though. That one was fast, smooth, reliable, and accurate!
I’ve been waiting for an 1894 review! I’m waiting for the dark model to come out so I can make it a companion to my TRR8.
Great 👍 gun for sure ! Looks perfect for the type of close range hunting I’ll be doing .
Such a beautiful work of art
One of my dream guns. I love the second kind of cool 😎 of a lever gun. My Dad and youngest brother both have Marlin 30-30s so I want one in a caliber that starts with a 4. I have been debating between .45-70, .444 Marlin, or .44 Mag. I also want a .44 Mag revolver for hunting and range fun, so I have thought about going with the .44 Mag carbine and be able to use the same ammo.
I know that each firearm likes different ammo, but still could work. Plus I bought a RCBS carbide die in .44 Mag/Spl and .40 SW/10 mm Auto for $25 each before Walmart discontinued them. So I could work on some sweet loads for it whenever I get one. Thanks for the awesome review and I agree with you if that was your gun bead blasting it a matte gray would be EPIC!
Nice Review. Just pulled mine out. Was a custom build by the greatest lever gunsmith Mic MPherson 15 or 20 years ago. He has a good book on the subject. The 44 is very easy to load for and will give a wide range of uses out of the little carbine. I do use a scout scope on a quick release mount. Heavy jacketed loads with the scope and cast loads for the ghost ring. Thanks.
Miroku Always makes their lever actions proud of the metal to wood interface. The reason is, over time would work naturally shrink a little. So in the future It will always be a perfect fit.
That is true they are carrying on the Winchester tradition .
I have the 1894 CST in .357/38 and I LOOOVE it! This one is on my list for sure!
I love how the 1895SBL has T-Rex as part of the game it’s meant to be used on.
If I recall that was part of the marketing because it was used in Jurassic World.
@@Predalien195 yeah no shit...
@@Predalien195 it was, But that was in 45-70... BIG difference ! Although within it's limitations, the 44 out of a carbine is a beast !
Trying to catch up on the gun videos! Love the philosophy and gun content!
Hey Nutn! Peace, Love & Guns sent me your way! Oh like about 13 years ago! Love your show keep rocking!
When ya gonna shoot some PCPs???!!!
Love you videos, please keep them coming!!
I love lever action rifles, they make me happy. My first gun was a lever action Browning BL-22 my dad gave me for Christmas when I was 8-10 (can't remember exactly.) I don't like picatinny rails on lever guns, or when some companies try to make them tacticool. I like the classic clean look. I'm all for putting an optic on them, just drill and tap the reciever.
Great gun. I bought the CST, 357 with a threaded barrel. It’s also more of a bead blast finish. I swapped the stock to put on the CSBL laminate so it looks almost identical. I run with a Silencerco Osprey 45 and it’s fantastic.
My dad gave me a 1894 in 44 mag for Christmas 1972. In 1993 I refinished it. I can’t even guess how many white tale I have taken with it. I don’t really use it anymore . My son-in-law took a beautiful buck in NY state hardwood forest at about 60 yards. If I remember correctly it was loaded with 240gr. Hornady XTP and 21gr. H110. One shot through bough shoulders we found the built underneath the skin, perfect mushroom. We haven’t weighed yet but most of it is there.
44 mag is actually a very common hunting caliber here in the Tennessee mountains. Allot of people really love the old ruger 44. 30/30 is also very common as well as .35 caliber levers. Great gun.
I was able to find a brand new 2008 JM model in 30-30 for the same price as the ones being manufactured today. Awesome gun.
A friend of mine had the Marlin 336 in .30-30. Very nice gun to shoot. Lots of fun, lots of power.
Thoroughly enjoyed the father-son review!
I've got around 14 lever guns, but the only carbine I have in a 44 mag rifle is a IMI Timberwolf pump.its in great condition, but I use it regularly. It's one of my favorite all time guns. I need to take a look at this Marlin in 44 mag. Thanks for the review.
I just had a my 1981 Marlin 1894 on the range testing out some loads for the upcoming season.
I have the Marlin 1895SSBL .45-70, JM Original (made before Remington acquired them). Never had any screws come loose.
When Remington took over there were many problems. Front sights were offset from the rear. Rough finish on the parts.
Wild West Guns make some great upgrade parts for the Marlin. They can make it a Take Down model also.
Henry makes one called the Henry X series that’s tactical
They reviewed one of those before I’m pretty sure
Henry quality/reliability will give ya hemmies.
Great timing on this video! I've been looking at for a 44 mag combo. I live in Cali so if you can only have ten rounds might as well be 44 mag. Right now I'm thinking Marlin 1894 and Smith and Wesson 29. Let me know what you guys think.
Of course. I have a 94 in 357 paired with daddy's mod 28. I have a 8 3/8th mod 29 and "need" a paired lever gun to keep it company on the trail. I'm leaning Henry just because I have the Marlin and 2 Winchesters. But I'd do another Marlin in a heart beat for the right price. I only buy used these days so the deal will decide the gun.
Excellent choice..
I have an original waffle top 336 in 3030 from the early 50s that is probably my favorite gun. It's just a joy to shoot. Picked it up at my lgs used missing the buttplate for a great price.
Great Vid guys. The Trijicon TR24R Accupoint 1-4 using the Trijicon medium scope rings will easily clear the rear sight. Its a great option for the 30-30 too. I have one on my 336 Dark series and with Leverevolution ammo its easy to reach out to 200 metres.
Just purchased one yesterday can’t wait for it to come in
Thank you for posting an awesome vid on my b-day
Great video, one of your best!
TNP ...you never actually discussed the level of accuracy the 1895 44 mag achieved at 50 yards with irons. Otherwise great review!
You guys are hilarious. I love watching your videos. God Bless Brothers.
Based on your recommendation, I took the plunge & mounted a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6 to my new Marlin 1894 CST. Utilizing an Ashley Performance lever action scope mount and Leopold 30mm medium height double dove rings, I got the scope so low I had to knock about 10 thou off the aftermarket hammer spur they package with the gun. Excellent fit. Eye relief puts my nose right about at the tip of the comb.
I love the high standards and the honesty.
Great video, I have the Henry x model in ,357 /38 also have a 336 from the early 60”s. It has a 3x9 red field also from the 60”s and with Hornady lever revolution ammo she shoots 2-3” groups off the bag at a hundred. Killed several Calif coastal deer throughout the years.love that old marlin. I’m currently on the fence for another lever and I’m keaning between the xmodel 44 mag or .45 colt. I mostly hand load so that said, your thoughts between the two. I have several revolvers in .45 colt and none in 44mag.
I did the Wild West Guns Happy tune kit on my 1895 Trapper. That includes the follower you guys were talking about. The trigger is excellent, which can be had alone, or in the kit.
The Good, The Bad, and The Weird is an excellent movie. Glad to hear that me and Doodle agree on that.
I'm glad to hear someone dug it. It was a surprise, 20 cent buy at a bootleg market that I was really surprised with. So cool, even if I can't get anyone to watch it. Too many "no subtitles I'm too lazy" people running around. -Doodle
@@nutnfancy I think I watched it on Netflix the first time I saw it. I'm a bit of an Anime/Asian movie nerd, so subtitles are always fine with me.

Speaking of old men with a lever gun at this stage of the game I am him and I have three of them 1894-s and 44 mag 336 in 35 Remington and a Savage 250-3000 made in 1930 I wish I was close to where you guys are cuz I would love to see you guys review each one of them, and I will say the 1894-s even though it has the straighter buttstock is my favorite go-to gun
Such a beautiful gun
Nice gun NUTTIN! I have a 45/70 government in the same model. Love it. So fun to shoot. Want to get custom leather for it and make it look OLD OLD SCHOOL!! Now I can’t wait to watch the video. Best DAMN REVIEWER ON TH-cam!!
Best advice i got for deer huntin was to put a peep site on my win94 30 30. Younger eyes and a 94 that was/is very accurate. (Now i fit the old man w/a lever action rifle quip!)
Absolutely!
I’ll be watching for the Marlin Dark review.
Love my 1894CB with the octagonal barrel! It's dead nuts every time!!
I have an 1895 blued version in 45-70 love it awesome gun!!
I was going to mention wind river but you did in the video. Awesome movie!
Just had a lever gun range trip. 1981 Marlin 336 in 30-30 and a Henry H001 22, both with factory sights. Say what you will, the Marlin 1895 & 1894 SBL models are beautiful rifles.
I inherited my grandfather's old Marlin 336 micro grooved rifling .44 mag. It was the only gun he would deer hunt with and he was deadly with it.
Thank you for demonstrating the proper way to cycle the lever action by keeping your cheek on the stock. I've seen a ridiculously large number of people who pull the rifle off target and loose their sight picture while cycling a lever action. I cringe every time I see that.
"Killed 6 guys with a bb gun" rofl
Love that levergun especially the 44magnum! A+++++++++++
Y’all are so articulate and thorough in the review. Then during, you just let one rip. No farts are edited out here in the bunker 😂
He only acts like that when the kid is around...
Brian Gabhart yeah you’re right, I wonder why that is?
Been wanting a marlin lever gun for a long time now.
Great review and I’m planning on get the 1894CST and putting a midwest industry rail and X300 Surefire Light. For me it’s going to be a fun gun!! So the rail and light are just a second cool for me and maybe a HoloSun. I won’t go for the .44 just because that’s another caliber I have to buy and I already have a .357 revolver.
In Canada it's the 1895 with the .45-70 that's the "Guide Gun".
You buy a 44 in Canada, when you had all the bases covered. 30/30 and 45-70. and you want to get more levers. you may even get a 410 Henry and a Henry 22 before a 44. that is my experience.
I have a Marlin 1894PG, they only made them in 2003/2004. 20 inch barrel, 10+1 fully loaded 44 Mag hotness... love it.
Super nice, my father has a Marlin 30-30. Love lever guns. I've got a Rossi 92 in 454 Casull with 20 barrel. Bears beware. I chose it because I have a 45 Colt Blackhawk, so there's some caliber interchangeability.
.44 makes for some pretty good subsonics, very quiet with no action cycling in a level action as well.
Love the lever! Can't wait to dive in xD
The long rail on top would probably be beneficial for mounting an offset light if you didn't want to mess with replacing the handguard. And you'd still have room for a red dot
Hey Nutn! I have a 1894CB 45 Colt. Any thoughts on the 45 Colt vs 44 Magnum? I’m considering getting another one just for fun but I’ve read some that the 45 Colt is also very capable. Like a poor mans 45-70 in the right load. Love the channel!
Gona watch Wind River today. I believe it's available on amazon prime. It's one of those films I've been wanting to see since it was released but just never got around to it.
I just bought a 1894C in 357 last year and love it! I think I carry it more than my AR in the woods XD
Post-Ruger acquisition the 1894 in .44 mag (classic) now has a 20" barrel with a 10 round capacity. Good all around option for people in limited states looking for a self defense rifle.
Yessssss! 1894 csbl and 1895 sbl ftw. 🔥
You guys made me laugh with the “Old man” reference, I am an old man and I used to have the Marlin 336 in 3030 and currently have the Henry Big Boy in 44mag. Oh, and I’m currently waiting for delivery on a Marlin 1895 Trapper in 45/70!
Ranger point precision is where to get all the upgrades for these!!!! Got them for my 1894 in .357 and my SBL in 45-70
I'm curious to see what Ruger does with Marlin, Hopefully the 94 will be a top priority. I would love to have one like your reviewed rifle with better QC than the last production run.
Ive been looking at a lever gun in .44 magnum. Im probably looking to get a Marlin 1895 in the classic black and walnut.
Yes! This is awesome!
I ordered an 1895GBL and it came with canted sights so I returned it. The replacement also came with canted sights so I returned it as well. Their website stated a minimum of 4 months for warranty work so that was not a reasonable option and it's not an easy fix.
Thank y’all for the video.
Can you do a review on the Sig MCX Virtus. I know you did one one the original MCX but I would like to see gen 2
