Now that Ruger owns Marlin...
What do you expect to see ???
Ruger has always had 1:20 rifling on their 44 rifles so I expect the same for the Ruglin 1894.....at least it better be. Grumble grumble.
Maybe they will get rid of the cross bolt safety and put the big Ruger warning label on instead. I would see that as a fair trade off.
Only better!I somehow cannot imagine though we will ever see a Model 60 again. At one time it was the 10/22's main competitor.
If they make a 10mm (please, please, PLEASE!!!) I WILL own one.weren't previously chambered for such as 10mm, 327, 454, etc.
If they make a 10mm (please, please, PLEASE!!!) I WILL own one.
I really hope the 454 casull happens. I'd love one.You and me both.
And a 454 Casull
If they said they were taking pre-orders for 16-18" versions, full tube magazine, side loading gate, I would sign up for both a 10mm and 454 Casull, yesterday!
I owned a Rossi in 454 .. 16in barrel SS ... handi and powerful... I was sorta stupid and sold it ... I killed one Whitetail with it ... just under 100yds away .. the 300gr bullet ... .45 hole in bigger going out .. Bang flop ... Perfect performanceI really hope the 454 casull happens. I'd love one.
Exactly.................and cheap wood stocksI expect to see "cast" receivers, instead of "forged"! And, that's not something I want to see...
Oooohhh, and that stupid warning stamped all over the barrel!!

Why would Ruger change the way Marlins were manufactured before Remington filed for bankruptcy? It would make no sense to change to cast receivers when forged is how they were made. I would hope they would add some good Quality Control.
Because cast is how Ruger makes their guns;m they're not about to set up an entire forging process when their casting process has been in use for decades
Do you think they are going to re-engineer the Marlins? That would make no sense at all.
