I would rather have a new lever in 25-20 or 32-20 but I bet they never make them.
Me?…I want 25-35 and a 38-55…probably in the same boat

I get people looking for .30-30s every day....45-70s not so much. Seems like an odd first choice to me, but what do I know? I'm just a counter monkey.
several Midwest states don’t allow deer hunting with anything but straight-walled cartridges. I live in Ohio, so I like what .45/70 offers me for deer. I have a JM Guide gun in .45/70, but I typically hunt with my Winchester 1885 in .45/70.
Good point. I would rather have a 444 Marlin than a 45-70. Maybe thats one they will bring back. Hopefully with a 1/20 twist.
Then there's all the rest of us that just want something hardy and corrosion resistant that we can run with a can.
“Run with a can” sounds like a David Allen Coe song.
It is, ol Dave is all about threaded stainless steel barrels.
We can use straight walled cartridges in the "shotgun only" southern portion of Michigan, but they also put a case length restriction, so no 45-70. Pretty much limited to 45 Colt or 44 mag on the high end of the spectrum, 357 mag on the low end. 350 Legend and 450 are also allowed. Northern 1/2 of the state, no size limits, exvept that it must be a Center fire cartridge, I believe .223 or larger, for deer huntingseveral Midwest states don’t allow deer hunting with anything but straight-walled cartridges.

I'm like my name, oldschool. Blue and walnut for me. I've had a couple of laminated stocked rifles and they are ok. Personally, I just can't warm up to a composite stock. I understand the reasoning behind them, as well as stainless, just not my cup of tea.I'd love a stainless and laminate gun, a nice glass/kevlar stock would be nice to. I still want blue and walnut to.
the problem with most laminate stock are there shape, there never done as nice as a good rifle stock. Look at boyds there soulless. I hunt so I like ss and synthetic stocks.I'm like my name, oldschool. Blue and walnut for me. I've had a couple of laminated stocked rifles and they are ok.

Seems all the young whippersnappers want to be the next hidden James Bond style type what with their cans and whatsits and silencers. Back in MY DAY we shot magnums and centerfire rifles with no ear pro, and we LIKED it!
I think there are a lot of gooberment regulations with hot bluing that doesn't make it cost effective. Probably why you don't see any blued Pythons and Cobras. I'm just guessing and may be completely wrong.
saw a picture on antoher forum of a team of workers with a new production 1895 Marlin, and a statement they'll be availalbe in production later this year.

That's not so hard to beat.Lets pray the Ruglin is better than the Remlin.

Be nice to see a box mag fed high powered example like a Browning BLR, but without the Browning price.
When Ruger gets the casting setup going for the Marlin actions, watch for their dust and tail lights going away..
The youthes and new shooters see blued steel n’ walnut as outdated Fudd type weapons.
I’m honestly pretty surprised the first models released aren’t black tactical.

I can't see that coming. Ruger already did them, and box fed Lever guns have never been popular. I love lever rifles, have 17 of them. None are box fed, and I have no intention of adding such a critter. Among all my friends and family, there are many more levergun fans, and again, no interest in box magazine versions.
I'm with ya on that, have an 1889 .32-20, two 1894s in .25-20 and an 1893 .25-35. But I think the odds of seeing any of those produced are pretty slim. There were some newer .25-20 and .32-20 1894 rifles, but IIRC, the .25-35 and .38-55 haven't been offered in a Marlin since the 1893 was discontinued in the 1930s.
The only hope I see is that Hornady is producing the 25-35 (along with 30-30 and 32 Win) in their LEVERevolution ammo. The case is the same for these three as well as the 38-55. It should not be very difficult to produce these four calibers with not much more than a barrel change….https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/rifle/#!/
