Ruger Marlin Trapper 1894 357 Mag

Ever since Ruger took the reins of the Marlin brand in hand, the famed manufacturer has been meticulously re-creating the lever-action rifles that made the Marlin brand famous. These aren't reproductions, but Ruger-manufactured versions of the original Marlin Trapper Series rifles. Rejoining the Marlin lineup is the Model 1894 chambered in .357 Magnum!

The Model 1894 is quick-handling, soft shooting, and ideal for small game, plinking and home protection. The rifle features a 16.1", cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:16" twist. The threaded barrel (1/2"-28), comes with a match-polished thread protector and will accommodate common muzzle devices. In addition to .357 Magnum, the rifle also accepts .38 Special.

The stainless steel receiver, lever magazine tube and barrel feature an attractive non-glare, matte finish and all of the small parts are nickel-plated. The receiver-mounted Skinner Sight system is as accurate and rugged as the rifle itself. Machined from solid stainless steel bar stock, this durable, no snag, fully adjustable sight system provides for rapid target acquisition while enhancing the aesthetics of the rifle.

The black laminate stock and forend feature crisp checkering that deliver an excellent grip in all weather conditions. A generous butt pad absorbs recoil and makes the rifle easy to shoot. The forend has been slimmed down for an attractive look and a comfortable feel. Consumers will notice that the hallmark black and white "bullseye" found in Marlin stocks since 1922 is still there, but in red and white. MSRP $1,279; MarlinFirearms.com.
