Re: Ruger Acquires Marlin - it is Official!
This is the best possible outcome I could imagine. The Marlin Firearms might now return to some semblance of normal . .
Re: Ruger Acquires Marlin - it is Official!
I wonder how long before the Marlin/Ruger 336 hits the shelves. I'm needing another 30-30...

Hope they bring out a line of cartridges based on the 338 ME round. At least maybe a 7mm ME!! Almost would be like a rimmed 284Win.

Re: Ruger Acquires Marlin - it is Official!
I am so glad, this is great news. I've been a Marlin fanboy forever. I own more Marlins than any other levergun. I wish someone bailed out Winchester back in 2007 (I think) as Ruger is rescuing Marlin... :)
Re: Ruger Acquires Marlin - it is Official!
I hope that Ruger makes better quality than Remington did.

Re: Ruger Acquires Marlin - it is Official!
OK, now we have John Marlin Marlins, Remington Marlins, and now we'll have Ruger Marlins.
Hmmmm, get (some) one of each and have a collection.

I would sure like to see a rebirth of the Texan 336 carbine.

Re: Ruger Acquires Marlin - it is Official!
I am hoping Ruger assesses and addresses the quality issues and I would kinda like to see a Marlin branded model 96/44.
a Pennsylvanian who has been accused of clinging to my religion and my guns......Good assessment skills.
Re: Ruger Acquires Marlin - it is Official!
Both sound like good ideas to me.
I would like to see Ruger fix the quality control issues Remlins had.
