Bucks&bulls Report post Posted December 23, 2021 Did some looking while drinking my morning coffee. Marlin lever guns are commanding high prices right now. Link is to a 1974 vintage rifle for sale in Phoenix. Ya better sit down before you look at the price! https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/marlin-rifles/marlin-1895-45-70-1974-vintage.cfm?gun_id=101810820 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted December 23, 2021 I saw one a few years ago at pistol parlor and hesitated. I went back that afternoon and it was gone. Did the same thing a month later at AJI. Kicking myself in the a$$ ever since. They were $1000 then. More then double that now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JiminAZ Report post Posted December 23, 2021 I have a Marlin Guide Gun done up by Wild West Guns in Anchorage. PM me if you are interested. Big lever loop, reamed for 457 Wild West (shoots both 45-70 and 457 WW). leupold scout scope, ghost rings, shrouded front sight, ported...... Basically all the options except takedown. Sorry though it won't be cheap...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JiminAZ Report post Posted December 23, 2021 I actually have two. One is parked and one is hard chromed. The cartridge on top is the 457 Wild West. below is 45-70. The 457 WW runs about 200 fps faster than equivalent 45-70 IIRC 4 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper17 Report post Posted December 23, 2021 My .450 Marlin guide gun shoots really well with the Leverevolution bullets, I could not believe the difference in accuracy. Good luck with your search. Have you considered a Henry those are pretty nice and not as expensive from what I have found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted December 24, 2021 I had no idea what they were going for. I bought one about 12 years ago for like $600 new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sixgunz Report post Posted December 24, 2021 The Ruger Marlins have shipped. Good luck on getting one in the next few months. Small dealers have no chance and the large ones are giving them to the high roller customers. I'll bet that a few will end up on gunbroker and the prices will be North of $2000 until after February of next year. YMMV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
