U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. is pleased to announce its reintroduction of the Marlin Model 1895 Trapper.
The Marlin 1895 Trapper was conceived by hunting and fishing guides in Alaska who needed a big-bore rifle that was short, quick-handling, and optimized for hunting or protection from dangerous animals. Chambered in .45-70 Govt., this latest Marlin offering from Ruger features a 16.17″, cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:20″ twist. The threaded barrel (11/16″-24), comes with a match-polished thread protector and will accommodate common muzzle devices.
The stainless steel receiver, lever, magazine tube, and barrel feature an attractive non-glare, satin finish – as do all of the small, nickel-plated parts. The bolt is spiral-fluted and nickel-plated for an attractive appearance and very smooth cycling.
The receiver-mounted Skinner Sight system is as accurate and rugged as the rifle itself. Machined from solid stainless steel bar stock, this durable, no-snag, fully adjustable sight system promotes rapid target acquisition while adding to the aesthetics of the rifle. The black laminate stock and forend feature a crisp checkering pattern that provides an excellent grip in all weather conditions. A generous buttpad absorbs recoil and makes the rifle easy to shoot. The forend has been slimmed down for an attractive look and a comfortable feel. Consumers will notice that the trademarked black and white Marlin “bullseye” found in Marlin stocks since 1922 is still there but in red and white.

I like Ruger firearms , but this appears to be way over priced . Marlin sold this gun for under $1000 . This product appears to have been a victim of Biden economics . Let’s go Brandon #FJB
Come on Ruger, get the price where it SHOULD be, the price is at least $400.00 over what it should be. I am a Ruger freak, but this price is ridiculous.
How about in .357?
Swing and a miss, but only because of the price.
The dollar is plummeting in value. Everything is costing more, so it is no surprise this rifle does. Every conservative voter who voted for Biden should be feeling plenty of shame now. They bought the anti-Trump propaganda and now we are all paying the price.
Now thats a rifle I could get behind
