3 Marlin Rifles to Take Any Game in North America
3 Marlin Rifles to Take Any Game in North America
Hunters and shooters alike have valued Marlin firearms, especially the company’s lever actions, for over 100 years. Now, as we sit poised on the edge of a new beginning for the Marlin brand under Ruger’s ownership and production, Guns.com takes a look at three Marlin rifles needed to hunt any North American game animal.
Ruger will have cold hammer forged barrels on Marlins . But I’m keeping my 336 30-30
Waiting for Ruger to resume production of the Marlin Model 1895 SBL so I can get one, only problem is the ammo availability.
Howdy Kristin. Ii have a model 39, a 39A, and an 1894 in ,44 mag/spec. Don’t need anything bigger in Missouri. Great video!
Thank you thank you for showing correct shooting form and not
lowering and looking at the gun while working the action.
So many lever shooters and especially bolt action shooters today drop the gun off the shoulder, take their eyes off the target to look down at the gun while they work the action, then put everything back up
on their shoulder and have to locate their target again. Then they repeat that for subsequent shots.
Many many these days would do well to watch the shooting on this video to see proper form being used
Awesome video
I’d like to one in 356 winchester
When Marlin was sold to Remington and moved to the Remington plant that was the end of Marlin. Marlin used to make great quality guns but Remington ended that. I hate that Marlin went to Ruger. Ruger makes lower quality guns these days and they have absolutely no quality control. I’m amazed at how flawed some of Ruger’s guns are that I’ve see lately. They should have never left the factory.
I have Ruger Model 96 in 22 mag and I do believe it’s more accurate then my Marlin.
It would be great if Ruger would bring out a Marlin in 327 Fed. Mag. the 1894 platform would be perfect.
I would like to see model 1895
Nice set. I can’t help thinking there needs to be room in there for a 32-20 with Ballard rifling.
Would be curious as to what aspects of the 39A make it a better rifle than the Henry.
Any game in North America 🇺🇸??? This is rather vague as with proper shot placement most can be put down with old black powder cartridges that are not even close to the power and accuracy level of current cartridges. When the .30-30 arrived to the market everything imaginable fell to the cartridge.
All the above. Especially the 1894 chambered for .327 Fed Mag to be a companion rifle with the revolvers Ruger already makes in .327. Also, want to see the Marlin rimfire rifles with tubular magazines to come back. I think tubular magazines make more sense with rimfire calibers than centerfire calibers.
My dad gave me a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag for my birthday when I turned 15 and it was a trusty hunting rifle for over 40 years and I never missed with it. Well, I passed it down to my oldest son on his 35th birthday. My dad, in his mid 80s now, is still a big Marlin fan and has about 4 hanging on his wall. I still laugh that the last Marlin he bought is in 45-70; after his "sighting in" session he retired it as "we don’t have anything around here that needs that much killing"! I haven’t seen many Marlins in gun stores for a while but I am feeling a bit anemic in the .44 calibers. I have become a Henry fan of late acquiring .357/.38 and .45-70 exemplars of their line and, well, they ain’t bad.
Great video and shooting, Kristin. Perry P., SoCal
I agree and concur! Got all three models covered and love every one of them! Thank you for this wonderful presentation!!
I want to see either a stainless and threaded 1894 or 39A chambered in 327 federal magnum. In either case, a side loading gate is a must. Pipe dream: the 1894 chambered in autoloader calibers (10mm?)
sorry,
i will still stick with my 1964 336 44 mag. instead of the 1894 or 1895.
Kristin and lever action rifles = joy and fun
I want a reintroduction of the 9mm Camp Carbine
I’d like to see the Marlin 60 semi automatic 22 long rifle may be upgraded a little bit little nicer side cheap looking getting better all the way around best I can say just upgraded a little
1894 in 357 💥
Luv your vids!
I emailed the CEO of Ruger and asked him to please bring back the model 39.
Great video. Super informative and presented with honest knowledge and genuine passion. Subscribing now.
That was a monster crocodile!!
IMPRESSED WITH YOUR AFRICAN BIG GAME HUNT BE NICE TO SEE THE 444 COME BACK
Kristin, thanks, one of the better reviews. I enjoyed hearing about your 3 selections and why.
Your prestations are excellent
It is a great opportunity for lever action fans (me included), Marlin levers what ever model are extraordinary shoots, I have 3, .444,35 Rem and 357. All shoot as well or better than your 45-70.
Ruger will I believe do better than Remington quality wise and I hope they bring back all of the old favorites, and also the newer short-lived chamberings such as the 308 Marlin and 336 Marlin,
as I believe the reason they were not a success was due to quality issues from Remington rather than the cartridges themselves.
I’m 71 now, but my first lever action rifle in my 20’s was the Marlin 39 Century Ltd anniversary carbine in .22lr. I helped many farmers here in Western Mass dairy & agricultural land by dispatching more Groundhogs or Woodchucks as we call them, than I could count. I didn’t consider owning another lever action gun for decades until maybe a decade ago when I bought that .45-70 on your table. Since then I’ve added a few Henry models to my stable of treasured firearms & I love & trust them all. You are a very eloquent speaker & flawlessly deliver your message in a way that keeps my attention & is entertaining & educational. Keep up the excellent content.
The 1894 is just right for the woods in Pennsylvania where you can’t see farther than about 75 yards.
The Ruger Super Blackhawk and the Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum make a nice combination also.
Nice shooting 👍👍👍
Great video

3000 3 marlin rifle and 2000 box ammo let it supply me farm veng go today I reseller out

Been smacking deer for 20 years with my 44 marlin!! Wouldn’t get rid of it for nothing!!🤠
Well done. Bravo😘
I really wanted a new papoose just before it all hit the fan for marlin, but a 16 inch 94 in .357 would be cool also. They could bring back the midget also
Terrible customer service, refused to correct an order before it was even shipped
Awesome history on that table and also excited to see what ruger does
i would like to see ruger come out with the marlin cowboy 1895 45-70
No nonsense reviews is always what we get from your videos. Outstanding !! Had to laugh at the sound of the 45-70 brass hitting the bench; sounded like you were dropping bricks onto the table lol
Now that’s a woman
I’m with yeah gal, I LOVE LEVER ACTION!
I love to see ruger bring back 1895 45-70 and 444 marlin and 336 in 35 remgtion
Interesting picks they are awesome guns
