      Suggested retail of the new Ruger Marlins is +/- $1199… the Model 1895 (.45-70) is the first run.

        I don't think it's fair to jump on a member because his Henry is better then his Marlin. You need to be jumping on him for posting that huge azz picture.
        It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

          There's certainly nothing wrong with being a fan of straight-grain wood. That's what the browning looked like that I inspected. I find that kind of plain.

          I just prefer the "swirley-burley" look of the Winchester wood. Each to their own..

            What was the MSRP of an stainless 1895 before 2009? It was at least $1000. The new one is $1300.
            Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

                That's the new gun gotta have it now price. Sort of like off roster pistols in California. Or, even look at the Springfield SA35 Hi Power clone. MSRP is $699, but they were selling all over for $1500 or more.

                    I'm waiting for them to bring that quality to blue steel and walnut, where it belongs.

                      Disagreeing with, even laughing at his cheap watch comparison is "jumping on"?... well, I'm gonna have to disagree with you, my lever-action lovin' brother.

                      As for the large photo, we've all done it, but resizing is the way to go whenever possible.

                      The user in question seems to have disappeared entirely from calguns. Someone else pointed this out in an Off Topic forum thread. Only evidence of him being here can be found in any quotes of their posts.

                      iirc, he once had a post signature that was very concerning; something about "no problem seeing [whatever law enforcement entity it was] swinging from ropes"... right friendly of him, don'tcha think?

                          I dunno...... it looks kind of "off" to me with the rail, laminated wood, and fiber front sight.
                          Always looking for vintage Winchester and Marlin lever action rifles. Looking to sell? Know of one for sale? Drop me a line!

                            I'll second that..I know I know, what am I doing up this time of day..

                            I've really read good things about these new Marlins. Did you see the Hickok45 video on these ? Oh my!! The reciever looks polished
