I was just given one by my (now favorite) niece. A .357 carbine.Beautiful rifle, with a good trigger. The only negative I have is that the loading gate is sprung like a bear trap, and the edges of the loading port are sharp. Both easy fixes. I think I’m really gonna love this rifle.

I have been testing and reviewing each of the new Marlin's as they come off the production lines. I currently have the new 336 Trapper, 1894 SBL and the new .45-70 Trapper with Magpul stocks is on the way. I test them and then publish reviews. I have bought nearly each rifle I tested because they have been top quality. I've been a JM Marlin man for many, many years and I have to say the quality, accuracy & reliability on these new Ruger built Marlins is top notch.
