It is milled from solid steel forgings and heat treated for ultimate strength. And that’s for a .22! It is the best made, most collectible, most accurate, coolest, and highest quality .22 lever action being sold. It is one of my top recommendations as heirloom quality rifle to give to your children and family members. But good luck finding one. Because like many of Marlin’s guns, they sell, sell, sell and their availability within the past few years has been scarce. Don’t fault Marlin as they have been cranking the production lines as best they can. Credit good designs that connect with guys, high value, outstanding workmanship, and excellent accuracy. That’s Marlin. I know because I’ve been shooting and testing Marlins ever since high school. In the swamps of Alabama in my many hunting adventures, I found their Model 60 .22 to be a reliable and cost effective performer that’s fun and deadly accurate. Its also lightweight (5.5 lbs), super affordable, and has been issued in some amazingly cool laminated and walnut stock editions (like the blue laminated version and the nice walnut-stocked 50th Anniversay Model 60 .22 shown!). Their Model 795 .22 and Model 70PSS Papoose (reviewed) semi-auto rifle are some of the best, highest value .22 autos out there. The 4.5 lb stainless steel, 10-shot Papoose is one of the best survival kit guns in the world and …
Everytime I watch this I just wanta run out and buy another Marlin!
you need to do a ruger 10/22 vs marlin 22 rifles, unless you have already done that lol
that 45-70 is sweet.
I Love Beautiful Wood.
is the 795 deal also available for the 795ss?
@miketastic97 Yup, Remington is closing the marlin plant and moving production to New York, and I think Kentucky for the bolt actions. Really sad!!!!!
I bought a marlin xl7 in 270 and it is great. very accurate . Great gun for the money.
man xs7 in .308 or xl7 in .30-06, man hard choice. lol.
Just got the xs7 in 308 topped with a bushnell 3-9×40. Trouble is, there’s a 1 month waiting period for guns in Australia.
@ntrudr800 right on bro!
@spikekrossa their closing the marlin plant?
wait which one of the marlin xs-7’s is a youth model?
Marlin makes the best guns out their for the money and the average hunter or shooter best lever actions made and rimfires and the bolt actions are great guns for the price
I love my 1895gs and I want a 39a. Hopefully Remington keeps making them after they close the Marlin plant next year.
You missed the GBL! The Marlin 39 is on my list as well as the GBL
I’m glad I don’t live near nutnfancy,( one and a half years wait for a 39A). I just went to my local gun shop and he ordered a 39A for me right there.
HAHAHA your enthusiasm is crazy! Did you just grab that gun and lay it on the ground? LOL this is funny but you know what? Thanks. Passion is what makes sports like firearms keep going & not stall. There are enough of us Americans that do not understand how we got here–or how we’re still here, able to enjoy our choices. I’m still dreaming of that Marlin Model 925 with wood stocks. Sad thing is I’m broke at the moment… but things’ll look up soon enough
My trigger finger’s itchy
@SerialCapitalist The red dot is compact and it’s perfect for the range of the rifle 100-175 yards. Beyond that range I would opt to pull out the 30.06 or .308. Not to say that the 30/30 will not reach beyond that range beacuse it clearly will, I’m just not skilled enough with this rifle to feel comfortable with taking that shot. I would highly recommend the 336BL and I look forward to receiving my 1895SBL!
That 1895SBL is freaking awesome! A combination of nostalgia and modern ingenuity. Looks very tactical. I bought the 336BL earlier this year and it has quickly become one of my favorite rifles to shoot. I love the wood grain in the laminated stock, looks very sharp. Since Marlin does not offer the rail on the 336 like the 1895SBL (why not?) I chose to invest in a shorter rail for my 336 from EGW (Evolution Gun Works) and I’ve added a Bushnell Trophy red dot model BH730135 which is a great fit.
@afbamaboy17 you do know he says - “break the edge”, right?
lol u guys left the big loop lever open lol
@mascamcan1 No, Americans having guns is freedom for Americans. Ever noticed a police officer bad mouthing, and literly trying to intimidate an armed civilian into giving up their rights? I didn’t think so. And i bet government is very cautious about what they do in heavily armed communities.
ii have a marlin MODLE 60 but its really old dad bought it for 30 bucks back in the 80s lol
Hey Marlin…. Remember your 1894P?… 44mag with a 16inch ported barrel… yeah?
OK, bring it back in stainless and blued.. Give it that large loop, ditch the porting, and for heavens sake, get rid of that 1:38 twist rifling you chamber 44 mag in.. give us the same 1:20 twist used on the 45 colt chambering… Basically the GUIDE GUN on the 1894 platform..Cant understand why i cant buy a 44 mag guide gun ? That 1894P filled so many roles.. Hogs, Deer, Defensive,Police,Truck gun…
For a gift my father decided to buy me a .17 HMR i had the choice of of the savage model 93 OR the marlin 917-w/s
