That's an interesting piece of hardware. Not sure how I feel about it.

Very interesting rifle. Too bad the Trail Boss from last year won't be getting made.

Cosmetically not a fan of the top rail. Other then that very very nice.

Can that stupid pickle tin thing be removed? If so, I'd love to play with one.

I agree.

Long barrels are unnecessary in all but cartridges that exceed 3000 fps

Seems like everyone wants a guide model.
Sounds great.
I'll take one in stainless, 18.5" barrel, 6 round mag. and a grey laminate stock.
Trightium sights would be cool too...

By the photos the company has been on the Marlinowners forum and have taken note of what people have been wanting in a Marlin rifle.

Nah, why drop only 4 inches in length? 45/70 MARES LEG or BUST!!!!!

Man my 44 magnum mares leg has enough kick to it with hot loads...

I cant even imagine a 45-70 mares leg. Might take your arm off haha.

Steve McQueen did it :rockOn:

I guess want a rifle with POWER and a Mares Leg able to take the same ammo. Wasnt thinking about or with my arm. :D

Give it a Longer barrel and a steeper pistol grip and it might not be so bad.

To bad Rossi doesnt have a ML in 454 casull
