Anyone buy a Marlin under the NEW ownership?
If so, please post pics! I'd like to see what the quality is.. (I'm sure I'm not the only one who's like to see what they now look like!) Thanks! |

Remington has admitted to problems with their Marlins and have ceased production until they get it worked out. Apparently the Marlin tooling was old which caused a lot of hand fitting of the parts to make the rifles work right. Remington moved the old tooling but not the old people with the know-how to get them to work.
At least Remington has been honest about the problems and are working on a permanent solution. Hopefully, they get it figured out soon, because the lack of new Marlins in the market has created a shortage of affordable CAS (cowboy action shooting) rifles. |
I have no complaints with my 1895 SBL 45-70... fit finish and function are all supurb ... it was built in 2011. This gun is a BLAST to shoot! I ended up putting a Leupold Scout scope on the factory installed rail with a set of Leupold QD rings which is a perfect combo for this gun IMO

Good to hear. I bought one last year, but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. The build quality appears excellent and the action is very smooth. Congrats on your sweet rifle! |
