Ruger has re-introduced the Marlin Model 1894 Classic chambered in .44 Rem Mag. The Model 1894 Classic retains the traditional characteristics that made this a truly iconic rifle.

The Ruger-made 1894 Classic is marked “Mayodan, NC,” bears an “RM” or Ruger-made serial number prefix, and features the red and white “bullseye” in the stock.
Additional models in different calibers and configurations will be released throughout the coming year. Due to the anticipated strong demand and the limited quantity of Ruger-made Marlin lever-action rifles, Ruger encourages retailers to contact their distributors for availability and advises consumers not to leave deposits with retailers that do not have confirmed shipments.
Why they announced this in Women’s NRA I don’t know – all men should want a Marlin .44 magnum. However, what could be better than his and hers Marlin 1894s and a date at the range? And what excuse could be better than that to buy a couple of them? “I did this for us, dear. I promise. I love you that much! I wanted you to have your very own Marlin. Let’s head to the range and that evening a nice dinner date to your favorite steakhouse!”

I hope a .357 chambered model is slated as well. The .357 Magnum and lever guns (especially Trapper barrel length) go together like peas and carrots.

For my wedding anniversary, I bought my wife and I matching his and hers .22 rimfire revolvers. She actually enjoyed shooting it. And she didn’t shoot me.
