Marlin – A Legend Reborn in Lever-Action Firearms

Founded in 1870 and now under the stewardship of Ruger, Marlin Firearms is a name steeped in American shooting tradition. Famous for its lever-action rifles, Marlin has long been a favorite among hunters and outdoorsmen for its classic styling, smooth cycling, and reliable performance.

Today, Marlin rifles are produced using modern machining and quality controls under Ruger’s ownership, ensuring the brand’s historical craftsmanship lives on with enhanced precision and durability. From the brush-busting .45-70 Govt. models to versatile .30-30 Win. and .44 Mag. variants, Marlin rifles are ideal for both traditional hunting and modern utility.

  • Lever-action rifles built on the Model 1895, 1894, and 336 platforms

  • Rifles chambered in hard-hitting calibers for bushveld and big game use

Marlin is back—stronger and smoother than ever, combining over a century of lever-action tradition with today’s performance standards.
