I like the look maybe more than the Marlin SBL. It looks like a straight full on copy with nicer wood.

There was also a marlin SBL at the Range tonight I put them side-by-side. The only difference I could find was the sling swivel mounts and it uses flathead instead of torque bits for the top rail, other than that It looks to be a one-to-one copy of the Marlin in my opinion

It’s wild the price on it. You have to wonder about durability. On the other hand I think Marlin is charging a huge premium for the name and the fact that the design just looks great.

I do agree the price is a little much in my taste, but if it proves to hold up and you’re not a namebrand snob, this would just be a cheaper marlin so it would save you money, especially since Marlin parts are interchangeable with this so all the Magpul furniture can go on this if you wanted to and aftermarket triggers
