All New Ruger Manufactured Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70 Coming Soon!!

I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon shooting one of the new Marlins at a friends place in Montana. What a BEAUTIFUL rifle! I'm a real fan of lever guns, and have quite a few, from everyone who currently makes them. The fit & finish on it is really, Really good; no spaces, no gaps, everything is snug & tight. The wood is really nice, checkering is nice and crisp. The action is fantastic; VERY smooth, just the right resistance cycling the action. It locks up very solidly, and is aa comfortable gun to shoot, even running stout reloads. It's a softer hooting 45/70 than either my Henry or my Remington era Marlin.
45/70 is not a favourite calibre for me, and I already have two of them. But...I have one on order. I will likely sell one or both of mine when it arrives. I am now Really looking forward to their line filling out again. I'm a big fan of .357 mag, and I'll absolutely be adding a new Ruger/Marlin to my safe when it's released
 
The new Ruger/Marlins are starting to arrive at select gun shops in Canada.

They are absolutely gorgeous and worth the wait.

Better than original JM Marlins in my opinion.......:)

Very scarce at the moment, some were in stock yesterday sold out in 30 minutes ish, kind of a wait and keep your eyes open situation , only got mine because I just happen to be cruising the forms when they were listed.
 
I have to say that the new Ruger SBL & Trapper model is a very well put together offering and they are flawless,
i purchased one of each a few months ago and they are smooth to operate and i have had no issues with them.
They handle the 405 gr or 325 gr with mild recoil when having a Ranger Point M/Brake installed.
Money well spent, for those of you north of the border waiting for them to show up you won't be disappointed.

I just got one in the mail. I was told only about 10 in Canada so far, but I cannot confirm that. It’s very nice feeling and looking.

I was lucky to win the Korth group online action to get one of these guns. They are amazing. I have had a few offers up to $4,000.00 and I can’t seem to sell it. I haven’t shot it yet but I have fondled it quite a lot. Very impressed with the build quality so far

$4000!? I would have taken that and ran lol. You could buy two more when they eventually become more plentiful and still come out ahead lol.
 
I remember this was the first gun I wanted to buy when I got my license eight years ago. At the time they were selling for around $1300 wish I would have bought one then lol
