Recent Reviews and Performance
The Ruger-made Marlin 1895 SBL has earned rave reviews since its 2021 reintroduction. Outdoor Life declared it “the best factory-made lever-action in the company’s history,” citing its precise machining and smooth action. The Firearm Blog praised its “badass” .45-70 power and cowboy-style fun, noting flawless performance with Hornady LEVERevolution and Black Hills 405-grain ammo.
A 2022 review by Rifle Shooter highlighted its “fantastically smooth” action and 1.25 MOA accuracy at 100 yards with Hornady 325-grain Leverevolution, rivaling bolt-action rifles. Users on Reddit’s r/LeverGuns reported manageable recoil with cowboy loads, comparing it to .308, though heavy +P ammo requires a suppressor or brake for comfort.
Some noted its 7.3-lb. weight, plus optics, can feel heavy for long hunts, but its compact design offsets this. Reddit users also lauded its rust resistance and fit, with one saying, “The quality of the 1895 SBL that Ruger is putting out now is far above and beyond.” Buy yours today to experience its legendary performance!
Ideal for Hunters, Collectors, and Tactical Shooters
The Marlin 1895 SBL excels in multiple roles. For hunters, its .45-70 Govt chambering is unmatched for big game, handling everything from deer to grizzly bears, as Field & Stream noted for its compatibility with heavy loads. The compact design and side-eject receiver make it reliable in rugged conditions, from Alaska to the Midwest. Collectors value its modern upgrades—threaded barrel, Picatinny rail, and stainless finish—paired with Marlin’s storied legacy, as seen in films like *Jurassic World* and *Wind River*. Harry’s Holsters called it a “cool” addition to any collection.
Tactical shooters appreciate the Picatinny rail for optics and the suppressor-ready barrel, making it a versatile defense tool. A 2023 X post by @Mrgunsngear reported a 5-shot group at 100 yards, showcasing its accuracy. Its big-loop lever and smooth action appeal to cowboy-action enthusiasts, blending Old West charm with modern reliability. X post
