Was in LGS Thursday afternoon they had 5 new Ruglins blued with wood furniture. Nice rifles but I think they can stay there for the $2499.00 price tag they had on them.
$499 is more realistic!
I bought a new Marlin 1895 back in 2003.
It jammed bad and I sent it back to Marlin, they kept it just shy of 5 months and 1st time I loaded it after repairs it jammed from feed tube to lift with 5 different brands of ammo.
I took it to a gun show and traded it off.
I later bought a Puma 454 Casull with 20" barrel that performed great and accurate with 45 Colt and 454 ammo.
I have a 45 Colt octagon barrel Rossi now that shoots and cycles as good as the Puma did.
I would hope Ruger figures out the value of pistol cartridge leverguns

F that.
The Henry 45-70 I got a few months back was $800 plus tax and transfer.
I got one just like it and thats the trapper model.Picked up mine a few months back for about $1100.
Yep! That was me too.
It was at some tiny, no longer there shop and I had just happened to stop in and take a look around.
Saw that "10/22" with a bore too big to be .22LR.....had no clue what it was and went home to research "Deerfield". Had just sunk a ton into a home purchase/reno. Looking back, I should have bought it. Much like this 1895.
What store?
What models?
Thanks for bringing back the memory! I love that rifle. It's very accurate for a carbine on the first few shots, but then that danged barrel band doesn't allow the barrel to free float.
I bought it as a hunting gun, and it's done its job over the years taking several whitetails and having some fun at the range. I've supplemented it with a .44 mag pistol and a .44 mag Marlin Lever gun, so I now have the trifecta.
Thanks for that heads up!
Just FYI, I saw today that impact guns is taking back orders on the new ones at a fair price as well. The guide gun at $1045, the SBL at $1216 and the Trapper at only 1198. Very very tempting on that trapper or guide gun

I’m pretty fond of the wood stock as well. I’m having the tube shortened and barrel threaded on this one and twisting on a dead air primal can as soon as the ATF lets it out of lockup for me
