We got in a brand new 336W from Marlin. The barrel is stamped Illion, NY, so there is no question this isn’t an older gun. I was very impressed with the fit and finish of the gun. Its using a nicer laminated stock instead of birch, or whatever wood they used before. It looks nice. …
I just put a Mini Red Dot on a Lever Action. In the Scout Position. My Marlin 1895GBL. I feel so dirty. Yet… it feels good… Heaven help me.
There is a certain outdoors oriented magazine that recently did a test on cheap rifles. They took the most popular rifles that retail for less than 500 bucks, and did a quick and dirty accuracy test. Weatherby Vanguard TC Venture Marlington X7 Savage Axis Ruger All American The results were than the Marlin X7 rifle …
Marlin rifles have always been a favorite of mine. It was depressing when their quality took such a drastic nose dive. I’m happy to say that the quality is back. Not only that, but their service department seems to going the extra mile. We had a customer who’s rifle was damaged in an auto accident. …
Please make a 7-30 Waters LEVERevolution, and a 336 Big Loop rifle to go with it. I’d buy it instantly.
Just a quick update on my Marlin 1895GBL, .45-70. To recap, I bought one, and it was faulty. The stock was loose and the action was locking up. I only got a half a box of rounds through it before I had to send it in to Marlin for repair. It came back from Marlin …
Remington has cancelled production on dang near everything with a Marlin name tag. Specifically the lever action rifles. The Savage knock-off X7 rifles, I believe are still rolling out the door. We’ve had no problem getting those. Just Lever Actions, and the Rep told us that most of the orders we had were cancelled because …
I think Marlin, and by that I mean Remington, needs to stop making the X7 centerfire bolt action rifles. Marlin is a Lever Action Company… they need to stick to that. They do fine Rimfires… which is fine. Remington has nothing in that market. But Remington making a Marlin branded Savage Knockoff? Feh… Why? To …
I’m thinking of a Marlin 1895 “Trapper”, much like this one: However, I’d like it with a blued barrel and magazine tube, stainless receiver, and walnut stocks. The peep sights from Wild West Guns in Alaska, and a Big Loop. Hmmm… Perhaps – also – maybe 336 version in .30-30 Win.
I’ve mentioned the issues I’ve seen with rifles from Marlin, say the last 2 years. Sloppy fits, poor assembly, bad fitting parts/stocks, and wood on the butt stock that looked like it came from a different species of tree than the fore end. Just not a gun I’d recommend to anyone. Well, last couple of …
