Marlin Model 1895 SBL Lever Action Rifle – .44 Magnum
£1,650.00
The wait is over. Introducing the first Ruger-made Marlin firearm — the Marlin Model 1895 SBL — and it has been worth every moment. Built with genuine pride at Ruger’s facility in Mayodan, North Carolina, this American-made lever-action rifle honours the time-honoured legacy of the original 1895 design while delivering the precision engineering, tight tolerances, and quality control that Ruger is renowned for worldwide.
Chambered in the formidable .44 Magnum, the 1895 SBL is a serious hunting and field rifle with the stopping power to match. The 16” cold hammer-forged 410 stainless steel barrel produces ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy and long-term longevity, while the CNC-machined 416 stainless steel receiver, lever, and trigger guard plate — finished in striking polished stainless — deliver a rifle that is as durable as it is visually impressive.
Low-light performance has been significantly elevated with a tritium fibre optic high-visibility front sight and a fully adjustable ghost ring rear sight — allowing for fast, confident target acquisition from dawn to dusk. For those wishing to mount optics, the integrated Picatinny rail accepts scope rings and a wide variety of modern sighting systems without compromise.
The spiral-fluted, polished bolt is a standout feature — both functional and visually distinctive — aiding smooth, reliable cycling while adding a modern, premium aesthetic. The threaded barrel with match-polished thread protector (11/16″-24 pattern) accommodates muzzle brakes and other accessories with ease, making this one of the most versatile lever actions currently available.
Handling in all conditions is addressed through sharp, checkered grip panels, a slim forend for comfortable carry, and an oversized lever loop that operates reliably even with heavy gloves. The grey laminate buttstock and forend remain dimensionally stable across varying weather conditions — a critical advantage in the UK’s often demanding climate — while the soft rubber buttpad tames the substantial recoil of the .44 round effectively.
Safety features include a positive push-button cross-bolt manual safety and traditional half-cock hammer, and the six-round tubular magazine with receiver-mounted loading gate keeps the rifle fed without breaking your firing position. Sling swivel studs and an offset hammer spur are included as standard.
The Marlin 1895 SBL. Legendary heritage. Ruger precision. Uncompromising performance.
