    Ruger/Marlin Lever future

    Hi, I bought my 45-70 from you guys last summer and "mucho happy" with it. Have you heard any rumblings they may be offering a similar lever in .44 mag anytime soon? and exported to you? Cheers

    I think we're all waiting on Marlin to bring back the rest of their product line asap. I'm holding out for a 30-30.
    .338 is where the fun starts.

    They are busy making the .41 mag that I requested. I told 'em to make it blued/walnut, and offer it as a combo with a 5" blued/walnut Redhawk.

    I guess times have changed now, and the Redhawk will be off the table for me

    Maybe the American market will benefit from my brilliant suggestions :P

    It would make a lot of sense to bring back a .22LR lever and tap into that market. And apparently that was Annie Oakley's favourite gun!

    (Marlin had been making .22 semis and bolts under Remington, but now they're at the home of the Ruger 10/22 with no need for a direct in-house competitor.)

    Mid-range, something pistol caliber that could tap into the Cowboy Action market ought to be something they'd be looking at.

    And .30-30 Winchester is almost synonymous with the lever gun, although its name suggests that the guns for it are mostly from a competitor so you might see Ruger-Marlin sidestep it and look at alternatives like .350 Legend or something stranger but more sensible from some logic.
