Marlin 1895 In 45-70

I have a SBL. Fit, finish and action is excellent.

I'm looking for a Marlin 1895 STP "Trapper" .45-70.
Any leads would be great!

The SBL is fantastic. After some interior tlc mine cycles like butter. I drooled after the SBL for quite a while. I had heard good things about the 1895 but Remington's reputation scared me off. Now that I have mine it is my favorite rifle. It's like this. When I walk up to it I think "oooh, that looks nice." Then I pick it up and think "oooh, that balances perfectly." Then I cycle it and think "oooh, the cycles scary smooth." When I shoot it with factory ammo the recoil surprisingly mild. And I mean 120# female, absolute novice friendly. Awesome gun. Worth every single penny and more.

I have a SBL I purchased about 6 months ago. Fit, finish and action is excellent.

Me too. I wonder how many made it to Canada? Probably not many. The SBL will probably have to do

I'd even fly to the states and go through the painful customs process to get one..

I have a JM stamped 1895 cowboy in 45/70. Beautiful rifle. Love that 26" octagon barrel. The new marlins don't even come close for fit and finish.

I would love to replace my guide stainless with a 16" STP model....in a second
