I’d beware of places that have it (or anything) listed for several hundred if not a grand over MRSP.

Now if a place starts out below (like an auction site) and the market takes it there that’s one thing

Wow! You can buy an original Winchester 1886 for that kind of money. It is a nice looking rifle though.

CTD had one advertised a few weeks ago for the low-low price of $3995, but it was IN STOCK!

Love a nice lever gun, and I like just about everything Ruger does. But there is almost no way I'd spend more than $1,000 for a rifle that can be replaced by multiple others in my safe.

 

[Jeepster48439]

The MSRP is $1399 on the Marlin website.

I'm sure they are very nice rifles but at that price one could buy a Bighorn Armory lever action with several upgrades.

CTD must be amusing itself with the $3995 price for that Marlin/Ruger .45-70. It is ridiculous...

Im frankly getting pretty annoyed at what has happened to the lever gun market. They've essentially doubled in price in the last 3 years. That certainly doesn't hurt the value of the ones I already own, but I bought them because I enjoy shooting them, not as a financial investment, and there are still a few more that I'd like to acquire. It's getting so I'm almost afraid to take mine out and use them because they'd be so darn expensive to replace if something happened to them. Even the much maligned Remlins are just stupid on gunbroker these days. I was hoping Ruger's acquisition of Marlin would help bring prices back down to reasonable levels, but they don't seem to be turning them out in any significant quantity, and the published MSRPs are not encouraging.

The DJ on the radio today said there's a jurassic world movie coming out, and was speculating what that'd be like in A.R. I had two thoughts.
1. Hey! I've got a rifle specifically rated for T. Rex!
And
2. Imagine the barbecue! And the grill!

If you dug a pit and loaded it with coal, covered it, and waited, an old croc might turn out fine...

Whah ****ety whah.

I read somewhere that a guy with a lead eye picked up an earlier lever.... from around 1902.

Granted, some skill required.

Mmmmmmm......

Already promised myself the last pit cook i did was the last one.

Have fun!

True that, and a nice score it certainly was. I know where two similar rifles are right now, and they're asking close to $2k apiece!

I have a very early production 1895G with the ported barrel that I purchased NIB at an Indy 1500 show for $450.00, OTD. Times surely have changed, eh?
FWIW, I actually prefer it to my '60's vintage 336 in .35 Remington. Using Federal 300 gr. JHPs at approx. 1700 f/s the 95G gives my ancient shoulder a LOT less grief than Federal .35 Remington 200 gr. JSP loads in the 336 does. Even factory Remington 405 gr. JHPs are pretty soft-shooting with the barrel porting and a Pachmyr Decellerator recoil pad.

Marlin just announced the 1895 shorter barreled Trapper version, another one most people won't be able to get or afford! It looks nice though.

Edit: they're already on GB for 1950-2995 if you just have to have one!

We've seen the same thing with Winchester. A reliable 3 digit gun gets saved from becoming history and suddenly its a 4 digit gun. I guess they thought they would ride the wave. Its a crying shame, I don't have one of each model yet. Guess I need to start playing the lottery.
