Marlin/Ruger 1894 in 357

[220]

One feature I wasnt aware of is the ability to unload via the loading gate on the new rifle.
Depressing the loading gate releases one round at a time.
Guess it would save having to cycle every round through the action to unload.

I see they are offering it in a trapper model now in stainless.

Ill bet RP doesnt care for the looks of that one either

It's not bad, I'd rather have a blued version with nice walnut furniture though.
Here ya go...oh well picture is out of dimension, but you get the idea.

Yup Ive seen them but when you look at that and the Smith they are very similar in looks.

The S&W action looks like a Marlin 336. Not that it's a bad thing, but I have always preferred the sleeker and trimmer look of the Marlin 1894 action. Just a personal preference.

The other thing is that I am totally familiar with the Marlin 1894 action. It's one I know and trust, having owned 1894s in 357, 44 mag and 45 Colt. If I have to spend 1K, I'll stick with something I know. The S&W is way too new and unproven for me to spend that kind of money.

I had one of my LGS put me on their wait list for a Ruger/Marlin in 30-30. I got a call after three weeks from them. So, I went down to look at it. It was the 336 Classic and had a price tag of $1,140 on it. Beautiful rich brown wood and perfect wood to metal fit. I was able to get them to throw in a $25 box of ammo for free. Now… I have 4 Henry’s, 1 Rem/Marlin, and 1 Ruger/Marlin.
.22, .357, .45 Long Colt, .44 Magnum, and 2 30-30’s

Look at the top right of the text box and you will see a “X” next to the pencil. Click that and you can delete your post. Might not work if someone has replied to your post.
