Marlin Model 1895SBL .45-70 Government 18.5" Lever Action Rifle, Black/Grey Laminate – 70478

Great rifle .. decded to outfit it with a 1-6 x24 Trijicon dangerous game scope.. Shoots and carries beautifully... I wanted one for a while.. I don't know why I waited so long Heath H.

Extremely well made and finished rifle. Hats off to the designers and gunsmiths at Marlin Firearms. All the best!

Sights are right on, and the fit and finish is good. Except for where the stock meets the action there's a little miss match. Action is smooth, and cycles well fast or slow.

From the box the SBL has a decided wow factor with its grey laminate furniture and stainless steel metalwork. This being a short, compact, heavy-hitting and fast handling carbine.

WAited over a year for this to come back intk stock. I Carry this rifle on my guided hUnts because its accUrate, reliable and will kill anything in north amerIca.

AbsolutEly perfect. This rifle thumps, and is very accurate. It has all thE quality you expect at this price point, which is a great match for the moXy this gun inherently has. Get one!

Always a fan of both ruger and marlin, and grab a gun too for that matter. But shame on you for selling it $1300 over msrp. Those prices on gun broker are one thing, but for a regular dealer/distributor to gouge like that is unacceptable.

Everything about the Ruger Marlin is smooth. Easy loading port. Very powerful. Love everything about it.

Out of all of my guns, the Marlin 1895sbl is my favorite!! Pure joy every time I go to range to shoot. Plus it’s always a show stopper, someone always has something nice to say when they see it.

Ruger has done not a bad job on this rifle and I'm sure with time and refinement it will be perfect (hopefully as good as a Henry). Mine is close but, the lever wasn't polished as well on the underside as on the face. The stock under bright store lights needed further buffing out. There is a very light line on the left side of the barrel that disappears up under the picatinny rail and back down again (about 1 1/2" long. You can't feel it with a fingernail but it's definitely there and there is a

Marlin-Ruger 1895 SBL is so awesome! The refined action is so smooth. Fit and finish is so much better. I paid under retail in today's market. this one is going to be a keeper for sure. 45-70 is still hard to get but the rifle shoot's so well. Love the customization! Couldn't be happier!!!

Just purchased this Ruger built Marlin. I have been a Marlin fan for many years. This rifle is top quality! It’s a workhorse and it looks and feels awesome! Very impressed with how it functions and how it looks! This will be kept and passed on to my son.

The Ruger-Made Marlin is incredible. They did everything right when establishing their take on these rifles. Excited for the other models to be released!

Wow, what can I say! I love the wood work and contrast with the stainless receiver and barrel! Mine was bought before Ruger took over. Since my hands are kinda big, I really enjoy having the bigger loop rather than the standard loop on my 30-30. Having shot roughly 300 rounds though it, I can say it is a very serious brute and I'm glad I'm not on the other end! You can't go wrong with this one.

Bought this one new in 1999- early 2000, best all around ( brush gun) on anything a hunter would encounter an with the right ammo there's not much to knock down anything an end the hunt with a single shot with this one, thanks,and l still have it

Bought this gun a few years ago I didn’t pay anywhere near what your asking brand new I think I’ll keep it if your asking over 2,00,00 for it

Love the rifle, so much that I purchased two of them. I have not had a chance to try it on the range yet but hopefully soon. I have been working on building a display box for one of them. Our living room is designed with a western theme and this will be the final piece of the puzzle.

Arrived as expected. Ruger Marlin, is a work of art. Action a little stiff, but after cycling it a several hundred times has smooth out some of the stiffness. haven’t shot it yet but looking forward to it.

This rifle is smooth firing and mine has very good quality fitment, and tolerances. Great rifle, but the price hurts the wallet.

Thank you Rueger for saving what is truly an American icon and a masterpiece of a firearm. This big bore classic will not disappoint.
