Ruger 1894 Mar 70432 Sbl Series 44Rm 8+1 16.10 Gry
The Marlin 1894 lever-action rifle in .44 Rem Mag is a rugged, modern take on an American classic—built tough for hunters and shooters who want reliability without sacrificing contemporary features. This 16.1-inch carbine pairs the timeless ergonomics and speed of lever-action handling with stainless steel construction, a threaded barrel, and fiber optic sighting to handle close-range hunting, brush work, or general-purpose shooting. The gray laminate furniture gives it a clean, purposeful look while standing up to whatever weather you throw at it.
Under the hood, this rifle doesn't compromise. The barrel is cold hammer-forged stainless steel with ultra-precise rifling, and the receiver and trigger guard are CNC-machined from 416 stainless forgings—the kind of build quality that earns trust over years of hard use. The 5/8-24 threaded barrel accommodates muzzles brakes or suppressors right out of the box, and the factory thread protector keeps it protected until you're ready to thread one on. A full-length Picatinny rail lets you mount modern optics if open sights aren't your style.
The sighting system strikes a balance between old-school reliability and low-light performance. The fiber optic front sight with tritium ring cuts through dim conditions, while the adjustable ghost-ring rear sight gives you precision aiming from across the room or across a meadow. The oversized lever loop clears heavy gloves, the soft-rubber buttpad tames recoil, and the tubular magazine holds 8 rounds of .44 Rem Mag or 9 of .44 Special. Sharp checkering, sling swivel studs, and an offset hammer spur round out a carbine built for real-world use.
This is a working rifle—not a safe queen. It feeds factory ammunition reliably, weighs just 6.3 pounds, and measures 33.25 inches overall, making it quick to carry and shoulder in thick cover or from a vehicle. If you're after a lever-action that bridges tradition and modern practicality, the Marlin 1894 .44 delivers.
