Just a prediction but I think marlin is coming back. Strong. Best move coulda happened for that brand was going to Ruger.
Might be time to buy that new lever gun once they get things rolling.

I'll wait a few years and maybe buy a used one.
Meantime I'll stick with my JM Marlins.

Meantime I'll stick with my JM Marlins. My son bought a (Remington) Marlin 60 late last year brand new. The feed tube dovetail cut in the bottom of the barrel was to big to hold the tube mount. He had to use electrical tape on a brand new rifle to hold it together or the ammo tube wanted to slide over and out. No way QC should miss that. Ruger will fix the issues that Remington created I believe.

I'm also hopeful and eager to see what Ruger does.

Ruger WILL straighten out Marlin. It'll take awhile but Marlins will be worth buying again.

I'd bet we see a lever for high pressure center fires. I wouldn't mind having a Marlin in 416 Rem Mag. 😉

I’m ashamed of the quality I’ve seen in things with “Made in Huntsville” on them. I've got an R1 in .40 S&W that is well built and is a tack driver. It was made in Huntsville

I missed that Roger bought them. That's great. Roger is a solid company. I own several and I would buy anything they make without inspecting it. Well, almost.

I'd go with affordable quality.
I've run loads through Rugers that only a Freedom Arms should've taken no issues.
Only hits count.

Hell i like my JM stamped models (and even they had issues) but i ain't gonna go tossing out my 1895SBL no time soon 🤣🤣🤣

I can honestly say I have never had a 700 old or new with a single problem and I have had/do have a bunch.
I have seen a few - a slim few - with all I've owned or worked on that had some issues that should have never made it past QC.
Thing is, they are a manufactured product, shucks happens.
Yeah they had some serious issues with the Marlin rifles. They got those worked out.
Honestly, the only thing I don't like about a new Remington or Marlin now was that awful bluing that would rust if you look at it hard.

They will surely be better for Marlin than Remington was. However, Ruger's quality control ain't what it used to be. My brother and I both bought the Ruger single seven when they came out. Mine had to go back twice and his went back once and needs to go back again. One good thing about Ruger is the special runs of more unique firearms the come out with. Hopefully they will do the same with the Marlin line.
May the sound of hounds never die!

Ruger will sink a pile of money in Marlin and get them up to what we expect and probably even better
I would love to see some large bore Levers coming from them....like the 460 S&W
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be
