#Marlin1895

Ruger seems to be heavily focused on keeping the Marlin line of lever-action rifles alive by reintroducing the Marlin Model 1895 Trapper. The 1895 Trapper is a light, handy, and optimized hunting rifle chambered in .45-70 Government featuring a 16.17″ barrel and unique sights that are both snag-free and accurate to make for an effective hunting platform.

I don’t know a single person who doesn’t think lever-action firearms are cool. There has been a recent trend of lever-action guns receiving the modern treatment. Midwest Industries has put to market several products meant to modernize your lever gun. The most recent, intended for Marlin 1895 rifles, is the Marlin Extended Sight System.

The latest addition to the product line of Form Rifle Stocks, a British company specialized in manufacturing wooden firearm furniture, is a series of stock sets for different Marlin lever action rifles. These stocks were apparently first introduced at the beginning of the year, during the  British Shooting Show 2020. Let’s see what options and features they offer.

Lever-action rifles are fantastic guns whether you’re interested in a walk down Wild West memory lane, looking for a new hunting rifle, or just want a good gun for target practice. Of course, they can also be harder to outfit when it comes to after-market parts, especially optics. If you’re interested in mounting a scope on your lever-action rifle there’s something new from Skinner Sights, LLC, that just might make your life a little easier: the Skinner Express lever-action scope base.
