FS - Marlin 1895SS 45-70 Standard Model

Post by TNBigBore »

Selling this one for a friend. It is a standard model 1895SS
45-70 w/22" barrel and 1/2 magazine. It was made in the early 1990s and seems to be either a transition model or has upgarded wood. It has Marlin factory checkered walnut stocks. I did not think Marlin used the checkered stocks until the mid 1990s. Anyway, it is in excellent condition and is very smooth. It has a micro groove barrel with a mint bore.

The wood has a few light dings, but all are very small. It has nice grain. The metal is excellent with just a few tiny dings that are very hard to see. Two tiny spots of bluing loss on the top of the back of the receiver.

I have not shot it, but my friend says it like the Winchester Partition Gold 350 grain ammo very well and the new Hornady ammo as well.

$400 shipped for a very nice rifle

I do not have the capability of downloading digital photos, but have given an accurate description. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have about it.

That's a good price on a great rifle. I have an 1895ss in the stable with my other .45-70's. It was the rifle that began my love affair with this round. Mine shoots 350 grain Hornady's exceptionally well. This is a great all-around big bore. Short enough for woods hunting yet long enough for distance shooting from a stand. This one will make somebody very happy. Looks good with a Weaver K2.5 on top too.
If you can see the big picture, you are not focusing on your front sight.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I have one that is identical, except for the the rifling, that my wife gave to me in 2000. It will shoot the new Hornady ammo into one ragged hole at 50yds and under 1" at 100yds. My friend shot mostly the Winchester 350 grain partition ammo out of this one, and he said it shot very accurately. My friend had an older Weaver K-3 mounted on it, so he may not even know its accuracy potential.

I actually do have a digital camera, but dont have a comp at home, so I am very limited on my downloading capability. I know it is a bother. I will get one soon I hope.

Rhimfire, Glad to hear you are getting some use out of the Winchester. Have you had a chance to hunt with it yet? It sure was a sweet shooter.
