The Marlin 1895 lever rifle in .45-70 Government (brand part no. 70479) is Ruger-manufactured continuation of Marlin’s classic big-bore lever gun, built around a 19.1-inch threaded barrel with a satin blued metal finish and a gray/brown laminate stock. Marlin feeds the rifle from a 6-round tubular magazine and equips it with a ghost ring sight for fast, precise aiming on big game. Among lever-action rifles, the 1895 favors hunters who want a modernized, threaded-barrel take on Marlin’s proven .45-70 platform.
