I actually seen even a little higher MSRP speculation in the $1800 range? Even at $1699 I wish them well and success though, jacking the price double since 2018 ( I bought a Remlin in 2018 for $899) just for building the same rifle to original proper specifications hmm!

Lol the SBL was never under $1,199 and was 1,399 the last year they were made??? They are now $1699…. I will also say I’ve seen these in the US with the fit and finish now I wouldn’t sell mine arriving this week for under 4K and if I didn’t have 2 coming in current shipments I’d easily pay 3k for these…

You are probably talking about an ABL those were $899 now t the same thing.
 
They are abundant here in the US but the expected MSRP for Canada is a lot lower than you will be paying if you want one, The one that IRG listed at 1899.00 us = 2425.00 cdn+ give or take with the flocculating exchange rate. so around 2500.00 is what you may pay
in the future unless Ruger lowers, the dealer cost. They are a very nice rifle with no imperfections that i have seen from past models.
If you get the chance to buy one you will love it and it is money well spent from the best Ruger has to offer.

I bought my GBL for $800 the summer of 2019, SBL's were going for $1,300 at the same time.

Crazy how high prices have jumped in only a few years.
 
I was lucky enough to see two of these new Ruger/Marlin SBL 45-70 rifles.

As a former Marlin owner of years gone by, I can tell you this new Marlin SBL manufactured by Ruger is astonishingly beautiful. The new slimed down for-end is perfect, fit & finish is flawless, the fibre optic front sight is bright and the smoothness of the cycling feels like it was worked over for cowboy shooting.

All the sharp edges have been chamfered and smoothed out. Everything about this new model is perfect.

Better than any JM Marlin I have seen in my lifetime and better than the Remington/Marlin models that were good ones.

One of the earlier posts stating these new Marlins made by Ruger could bring big money, is an accurate one.

We will see these new in box on the EE for $3000.00 - $4000.00 guaranteed.

I’m hoping they will make a 336 in 30-30 that looks the same as this 45-70

I sadly / regretfully sold my 336 GBL in .30-30 to a buddy of mine. Laminated stocks and a flawless big loop. It was a shooter. Now he won’t sell it back to me… I wouldn’t either. LOL

It was a junior image of the GBL in .45-70. Remlington got it all right at the end of their tenure before going bankrupt. I do have to compliment them that much.

Now to see and then save up for another .45-70 Trapper. LOL

Peace Be The Journey!

Cheers, Barney
 
The latest FRT had a new Entry for the Ruger/Marlin 336D in 30-30 so it looks like that will be the next model to hit the market, hopfully it's more affordable than the 1895.

$4000.00! Get it while you can I guess, personally I will wait untill the new Marlins get back to relevant prices equivalent to Henry or Winchester ( yup that's true, I will likely never own a new Marlin then).

I had posted my Ruger made Marlin on for $4,000.00. After looking it over, shouldering it, and finally putting a round down range. I couldn’t part with it for that amount of money.

I stayed this when mine arrived, I would have paid $2500 for it but I’d be hard pressed to sell it for 5k cash in had… it’s amazing! Took it out yeasterday even the wife loved it. Will be buying a second when I can find one again.
