Holy effing eff!
If I had that gun and he had a feather up his ass, we'd both be tickled.

If that is the Limited there are a few out there

I had am LTD V, 26" barrel, pistol grip. Really great gun, had 7 45-70's so I sold it for twice what I paid.

They keep saying towards the end of the year but who knows.

A new Marlin, properly machined and made in .45-70 with a hexagon barrel at full rifle length with matching tubular magazine, real blued metal finish, and nice wood fit and finish is a "need to get" rather than a "want to get" firearm.

I can't see Ruger building a Marlin model that competes with their own line. If you already make and sell 10-22's why would you make and sell a model 60 to compete with it? Same with the bolt action .22, Ruger already has a pretty good one. Either way, I hope you Lever gun guys can get the one you want.

I absolutely love a Marlin 60, was my first rifle and have owned several over the years, but I think it's a stretch, IMHO, to think they're legitimate competition to the best selling 22 rifle in the world.

Who says the model 60 is supposed to be competing with the 10-22?
They have traditionally had quite different price points.
Some folks may not be able to, or want to spend the extra money for the 10-22.

I have a 10-22 now and I like it a lot, but the model 60 was my first rifle, not just my first .22.
I like the 10-22, but there's a special place in my heart for the model 60.

My favorite when I was home was dad's Model 60. I need to get me one to bring back the memories. Used it to pick off prairie dogs upto 200 yards with it. I'd use Kentucky windage and walk them in lol.

 

[jerrob]

Anyone ever lose their model 60 ammo tube plunger in the field? lol.
My dad was so pissed, he took the rifle and I spent the next hour or so backtracking til I found it.

I absolutely love the look of thendark series. I love my henry x rifle. But the marlin/ruger dark lever gun looks better to me

 

[snapping turtle]

The lines will all come up eventually. They spent the money to purchase marlin in whole from the Fire sale, the only thing I see them not doing is the model 39a. Remington said they were still in production from the custom shop for 3k plus. Since it had been in production in some forum since 1890,s I just don’t know if they will see it as profitable to manufacture to the quality that would sell well For the price.

as far as future marlin purchases they will most likely still have a JM stamp in a circle on the barrel and been made in new haven or north haven. I have my needs in those levers covered and only wants remain.

An update from Ruger's CEO shows the first guns off the line will be the 1895 45-70, likely the SBL model in December.

This article is saying the same thing as the video drillsgt posted....New Marlin info

The half length feed tube pre-microgroove .35 Remington is the best they ever made.
If Ruger started producing those they couldn't make them quick enough.
