Hey Sarge,
that 35 rem sure put a hurtin on it.

I heard ruger is shipping some marlin levers next week, 45-70 I believe.
I wish they would make a marlin 35 rem with ballard rifling like yours.

All we can do is hope Ruger offers some classic Marlin re-dos. American shooters are hungry for good lever actions. I think Henry now offers a side-gate 35 Remington. The 35 's a mild mannered thumper for sure.

Count me out until there's blued and walnut with a normal loop, regular sights, no rail, and a regular butt pad.

I notice that you don’t include a threaded muzzle in your list. Are you okay with muzzle brakes, linear compensators or suppressors, or did you just forget to include barrel threads?

I speculate that Ruger will reintroduce & ship other models this coming year that will try to appeal to the varied sensibilities of potential buyers.

Be nice to be able to get a new 1895 Cowboy model ...

I would like to see the CB model, but I bought a 2018 rem/marlin 1895 CB back in 2019/2020.
I have compared it to my JM models, and it is just as good or better.
The only difference I can find is there is no warning label info stamped on the barrel, or anywhere on the firearm.
Im assuming either they made a mistake or they may not be stamping warning labels on CB models to make them look more traditional?, I dont know.
Mine is the 26" 45-70 octagon.
Had the tang drilled and tapped for the MVA #107 vernier sight.

Installed the bear tooth saddle ring, mag tub follower, and the wild west trigger.
Also installed the smith ladder rear sight and a lyman globe front sight.
This rifle was new unfired, $839.00. back around 2019/2020.
I see them on gunbroker going for 3 times that amount.
I saw those SBL rem models going for $2500 / $3000 the other day on gunbroker.
I dont understand what is driving these prices up.

Yuck. Didn't notice. Can't see it in the picture and the picture made me exit the page before reading anything.

Idiocy I say. Gasoline nor milk should be $3.25 per gallon. Just look at the price of health insurance (again)...

Note the 1895 Marlin SBL in 45-70 has been 'released' according to the articles from the NRA mags.
Mere $1400 MSRP.

I paid about $700 or maybe $750 for one a few years ago once Remington figured out how to put them together straight.
