    I too have been thinking of buying a new lever action rifle but I think not a Marlin (unless and old beauty). If a new one, it would probably be a Henry. Of course, I am interested to see exactly what Ruger does with the Marlin name and what guns they put out under it. If they look good, I might be tempted to try one out after some reviews by other who bought them first. If I get one it would have to be in 22 WMR or 35 REM though.

    I didn’t know that ruger bought marlin? However, I only buy “JM” rifles so I guess it’s not an issue. I do want XLR 45-70 and maybe that’s easier to find

    Lets hope they do 454 casull lever gun to pair up with a super redhawk. I also wonder if they will try to resurrect the 480 ruger by offering one in that caliber

    Id hope they would do a 460 and 500 as well but I wont hold my breath on that one

    A 500 SW or 45-70 would be great. However, ruger is known for it’s mim casting to save on costs. If they go that route, I’m not sure their investment casting would hold up to a lot of those chamber pressures.

    Thats a good point. Well if they bring back the 1895 a 45-70 is a must. I just hope they find a way to offer more calibers. I dont want to shell out $3000 for a big horn armory in .460. Well if I hit the lottery I dont mind but until then I cant justify it

    Get a bunch of folks together and contact TALO. They can have Ruger make a special run with 'TGT' serial numbers. I'd be in for one.


    Me too! Have been looking at the Rossi but will wait and see what happens here before doing anything.

    I wonder if that would fire 45LC as well? My buddy’s .454 Super RH shoots 45LC just fine.
