What Marlin models do you want to come back?

[Philthy1]

I'm not sure they should bring it back, but the MR 7 was an interesting and outstanding rifle. At the time Marlin was looking to break into the bolt action game and essentially let the engineers have free reign. Taking what they considered all the best features of the various modern rifles and topping it off with the highest grade wood, they came up with this rifle.

Unfortunately it could never hit a reasonable price point and was doomed to fail.

The MR-7 didn't really fail, it just got revised a bit to become the Rem 783 after the Remington takeover of Marlin.

 

[MiG25]

1894CL in .218 Bee, .25-20 and .32-20.

This plus the Texan and 336A (24" barrel) in 30-30 and 35 Rem.

I'll play.

336 stainless takedown in 35 rem, 22" barrel
1894 stainless takedown in 44mag, 454 casull/45 colt

What can I say....I'm coastal. Salt spray and Greenie/treehuggers/soy hunters.

Ruger version of Model 60. Use a 10/22 bolt but have the tube mag that they shoul also be tooled up for with new 39a production.

Well, that would be a 10/22 then. They can keep it along with the regular 10/22.

I've never handled a Model 60 and am just guessing that this is how Ruger would do it. I don't know, maybe the Model 60 had something really different in the action.

 

[gallen270]

1894 16” 45 colt

 

[mikeyb]

Would be price-dependant. I could go for a 16" .454 Casull in whatever platform can actually handle it, but I might consider a .44 Mag.

Those 2 rifles have almost nothing in common.

 

[CLW .45]

Lever action, pistol calibre, overall length 1 metre or less.

I would like to see the papoose return, as well as the 1895G with the small lever and straight stock. Couldn't believe how much prices jumped on all of the 45-70s. I was looking at an 1895GS for like $1200 brand new at CT old stock, just before the Ruglins came out. I also liked those tube fed bolt action 22s I believe they were a XT22TR basically a model 60 bolt action. I feel like most all of the Marlin 22 models will be killed off due to Ruger holding a lot of the 22 market with the American and 10/22.
