Ruger made Marlins finally ship

[PanhandleGlocker]

I’m excited for this. Remington did Marlins wrong. I think Ruger will do a good job.

Ugh, did they have to install such a long pictatinny rail on a classic design? Hopefully that’s just an option.

I kinda like it.

Probably going to wait for them to produce the 336.. I may have to buy one again. I got rubbed wrong when I bought a Remington made Marlin. Rear site was dovetailed into the rifle crooked. Couldn’t hit anything…. And this was the stainless steel 336.

I want one if they become available and yes the two of mine have the rail.Looks like Ruger is doing a way better job than Remington did.

I am very cynical.
I expect plenty of fawning admiration from the gun press (including the American Rifleman) for a product from a big advertiser like Ruger.
I also expect that if the guns are all right, there will be some You Tube "star" out to get click on his video that will be yelling OMG! about any issue, real or imagined -- and that is what will catch fire with gun enthusiasts.
(Somebody said that if the Internet was as big in the late 80s/early 90s as it is today, Glock handguns would have been a colossal failure. I think there is some truth to that.)

I've been wanting a 45-70 but the price has kept me away. Hopefully this will solve some of that.

So you can set it up scout style too. I don’t care for the look either, it is practical.

Don't care for the rail or the rear peep but do like the stainless and laminate. Drilled and tapped receiver is all I want with a buckhorn rear sight that's removable. They could put out a scope only model.

It sounds nice for the marlins, waiting for this new one!
