Marlin 1895 SBL Guide Gun 45-70 with Eotech 512

What kind of range does this rifle have?

Many people keep complaining about the quality of the Remington made Marlins. I have on built a couple years ago and it works very well. It was a little stiff. But several rounds took care of that I have no complaints. A really fun gun to shoot

I see problems with the functioning of this rifle. Remington bought and owns Marlin and the quality has gown down drastically. Rounds not feeding or ejecting properly. Should be flawless in a lever-action. I love this gun but would buy a pre-2010 rifle or take a new one straight to a Real Gunsmith immediately to fix numberous flaws.

NICE

Thanks to Jurassic World, Kingsman 2 and Wind River…the SBL is now a $1000 to $1200 rifle. I'm glad I bought mine back in 2014 when they were $800 and some change !! That said, I still won't sell mine…even if I can make a few hundred in profit. It's a keeper.

That Fucking Eotech is fucking hideous on that gun Jesus!!! Buy a aimpoint

I have the rare Marlin 1895 STBL 45-70gvt and I recently put a red dot on the rail. So much fun and need to upload the new video with the red dot

Heavy Hitter👊

nice gun

That eō tech looks awesome on that gun, said most blind people!

I saw this in the movie Wind River, when that dude sniped those assholes with that marlin💀

Can someone with my knowledge explain is this a DMR? Just watched Wind River where he uses a Marlin 1895SBL and it was an awesome scene. Do you use this for sheer put down power and what other weapons are considered for this stopping power?

damn that’s a nice gun

nice rifle

Nice rifle.Big ugly sight.

Nice job.

One of the few guns I trust in the Alaskan bush.

beautiful piece of Hardware you got right there. the 45-70 is a rock chunker…good for rollin hogs 🐷🔫😁

That lever action is soooo satisfying

Expensive to shoot. Does kick like 12 ga shotgun slugs ?

thanks for the vid. I just bought a model 1895 and was thinking about putting a similar optic on it for deer hunting. do u recommend, or should i get a scope? all of my shots are within 100 yards , anything further than that I use a bolt action

Curious as to the distance your shooting at with that Eotech… looks to be about 50 yards, bot don't want to guess. And if it is, have you tried it at any further distances? Thinking that this would make a great hog gun/set-up if you ran into a bunch of scattering pigs….

What kind of metal targets are those? I like the sound.

Added a silver Leupold 3-9×40 scope to look closer to the movie rifle. Problem was the loading gate, way too stiff, scraped bark off my thumb. My armorer talked to Marlin and he relaxed the spring. Night and day difference, loads like melted butter. This rifle is not for everyone. Requires some skill to manage recoil. 1" 1/2 at 50yds, 2" at 100 using 300 or 410 grain factory rounds. Love it!
