18.5 inch barrel they claim.
18.25 by my tape measure.

Stainless, 6 shot tube mag, black and grey laminate, ghost ring sight with full rail over the receiver and the aft section of the barrel.

RD,
Sweet setup!

Looked like 18.25" from the muzzle to the breach end of the barrel to me.
Wasn't marked on the box, so I wrote the paper/electronic records to the state we have to do here as 18".
Marlin's website says 18.5". I figure someone got lazy (like me) and rounded the opposite way from what I did on their written specs.

I'd probably have been just as happy with a 20" or 22" barrel but this one don't seem to handle bad at all.
This is my second Marlin, after the .444 and might just make me see if I can rail the first one.
I know XS makes the scout mount that's supposed to fit the .444, not 100% on the full receiver to scout rail however. I know they list it for the 1895 and the 336 but neither calls out the .444 specifically while the scout does.
