Hey All,
I've been waiting for a Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70 for a long time, like I'm sure some of you, and now considering other brands. I've been even open to the Marlin Trapper but even that has been a challenge.
I've been playing with the idea of the Rossi R95 Laminate which is like a replica Marlin, albeit not as high QC as the Marlin.
Would you recommend continue to wait for a Marlin or pick-up the Rossi R95?
If the Rossi R95 is really not recommended due to QC, would the S&W 1854 be a better choice? The only reason I haven't entertained the 1854 is really the laminate stock of the Rossi and Marlin that has attracted me to it.
Thank you!
