2015 Marlin .45-70 Limited Edition Rifle

[Pete44ru]

.

Tapered octagon barrel, engraved with gold inlays on both receiver sides - what's not to like, except maybe the price ($1350 ?)

Gold and good workmanship do not come cheap. Pretty rifle.

Looks nice from a distance. I'd want to look at it real close before handing over a big wad of cash for a Remlin.

Now that is just sweet!

I can say it is not just sweet. It is really seductive in nature. Hopefully, they will auction this rifle to us in a cheapest possible price.

[claybob86]

I like it, but IMO a crescent buttplate would look better with that long octagon barrel!

IIRC, the production run of the 1895LE is 1500 units.

Nice that they're making something like the CB again but that checkering pattern doesn't do it for me.

Me neither................. If I bought one, the first thing I'd would be to extend the checkering to disappear the solid Win Featherweight-type ribbon that runs through the center of the patterns.

That's a fine looking levergun.

That's a fine looking levergun.

Indeed --- price competitive with a Miroku 1886 also ----


Claybob86, I like the look of a crescent buttplate too, but for a levergun in 45/70 that might get some repeat shots (as opposed to a Sharps that you can deliberately Nestle up snugly shot to shot) -- it makes practical sense

[JohndeFresno]

I have seen many heavily engraved firearms (mainly through photos), loved by perhaps most firestick aficionados, that leave me a bit cold. To me, gaudy and overdone. But THIS one is just flat beautiful.

If my funds were as plentiful as the taxes and laws in my state, I'd grab one! Gorgeous. Yes, seductive.

[CowboyTutt]

Well said John, well said. -Tutt

I guess I'll be the odd man out, and say I just don't care for it. Don't like the buttstock, nor the checkering. Something just doesn't look "right" with it. I'll pass.

I can live with the gun as is .

However I'd like it better with a half round half octagon barrel and perhaps a half magazine . I also liked the engraving on the 1895 CLTD from 1995 better with the french grey slightly different engraving and better wood . Also had a crescent buttplate .

Here's one on GB for sale as we speak !

Dang, that's a good looking gun too.

[6pt-sika]

I likes this one even better !

And if I could afford this thing you can bet your *** I'd shoot it and eventually kill a deer or bear with it .

Like teets on a bull... Not too my liking, but to each their own.

That being said $1350.00 don't sound too unreasonable for a blinged up firearm if that's what you like.

[roundup]

To bad they couldn't have put more effort in quality control on their general production of rifles.

Glad I'm not the only one, Ji!
