Buy recommendations Worth the price?

Post image

Saw this back in stock at my local gun shop, 357 magnum. Weight and length all felt good, just a little pricy. Wondering if it’s worth the price tag in terms of reliability and value. Also would it make a good hunting rifle?

Price is 2200$

Any recommendations is appreciated, thanks.

That’s the Ruger made Marlin 1895sbl?

If yes, the answer is yes. I’ve got one in 45-70. It’s a very well made rifle and goes out of stock often

I have the 44 mag version and I absolutely love it. Definitely worth the price (I paid around $2100 +tax)

I get 2-3 MOA with mine using a red dot and cheap S&B ammo.

The lever was a bit flimsy when I wiggled it, not sure everything else inside. I heard it’s much less powerful over 100 yards?
