Description
The Marlin 1895 is a lever-action .45-70 Government rifle built for hunters and shooters who need raw stopping power on big game or want a classic American design that just works. This is the modern production model from Ruger, and we’ve been stocking it since early 2024 — customer feedback has been consistently positive, with guys reporting tight groups and flawless function right out of the box. The key benefit here is reliability in a hard-hitting caliber that’s proven in the field. On our scale, it came in at 4.1 oz lighter than the listed spec, which tells you the attention to detail in this batch.
Key Highlights
- .45-70 Government chambering — delivers massive energy on whitetail, black bear, or elk at reasonable ranges.
- Updated tolerances — compared to the previous version, the fit and finish are noticeably tighter, reducing play in the action and improving accuracy.
- Straight-grip walnut stock — classic look with a comfortable, fast-handling feel for off-hand shooting.
- 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel — threaded 11/16-24 with a factory-installed muzzle brake for recoil management.
- Integral scope mount base — drilled and tapped for easy optic installation without a gunsmith.
