Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is pleased to announce its reintroduction of the Marlin Trapper Series Model 1894 chambered in .357 Magnum.
Joining other Ruger-made Trapper Series rifles, the Model 1894 chambered in .357 Magnum is quick-handling, soft shooting, and ideal for small game, plinking and home protection. The rifle features a 16.1”, cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:16” twist. The threaded barrel (1/2”- 28), comes with a match-polished thread protector and will accommodate common muzzle devices. In addition to .357 Magnum, the rifle also accepts .38 Special.
The stainless steel receiver, lever, magazine tube and barrel feature an attractive non-glare, matte finish and all of the small parts are nickel-plated. 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 provides for rapid target acquisition while enhancing the aesthetics of the rifle.

The black laminate stock and forend feature crisp checkering that deliver an excellent grip in all weather conditions. A generous butt pad 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 hallmark black and white “bullseye” found in Marlin stocks since 1922 is still there but in red and white.

Did you chrono those 357 rounds from the rifle? Looking at ballistics by the inch, commercial 357 builds energy at almost linear rate going down the barrel until pretty close to 16″. At 16″ those commercial pistol rounds make somewhere between 800 and 1200 ft-lbs. Those most powerful rounds make about 600 at 6″. Note – I’m genuinely interested in your measurements as I only have “book knowledge” on this topic. Want to know what other people actually get. Also… how long was your 357 barrel? Depending on ammo, friction can start overcoming pressure somewhere in 16-20″ range. In other… Read more »
Would like to see Ruger bring out Marlin lever action rifles in 357 Maximum and be able to use 357 Mag. and 38 Special.
Also bring out a lever action in 357 – ,44 B-D, 41 Magnum, 464 Casull, 480 Ruger, 50 AE
Would like Ruger bring out their 10/22 in 25 Stevens and call it 10/25.
A 65 grain bullet at 1250 fps.
Both Ruger and Heritage could chamber their revolvers in 25 Stevens.
Good to see this, because 357 is the caliber I will get if I am able to ever buy one. It’s reasonably affordable and common, and 38 Special can work too.
I’d much prefer a Henry case hardened with a side gate and a 20″ barrel, but considering how hard they are to find, this might do.
I already have a tube fed Henry big boy in 357, but would like to add a scope for these old eyes.
