Thread: Ruger marlin

I see the NZ distributor is advertising Ruger marlin SBL's as available.
I havent seen one in the shops yet, or do you have to order them ?
Am keen on one over the older Remlin version, but $3K seems a bit on the nose for a lever gun.
Has anyone bought on yet ?

I have a normal Marlin 336. I cant see why you would pay that kind of money for what is effectively the same rifle. The large loop lever is embarassing and useless.
