Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce the reintroduction of 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.
Ruger made, Marlin 1894 Lever-Action Rifle
“We’re very excited to introduce our first Ruger-made Marlin Model 1894,” said Ruger President and CEO, Chris Killoy. “We have spent many months working to make this rifle the best it can be.”
Chambered in .44 Magnum, the Model 1894 Classic sports a beautifully finished American black walnut straight stock and forend. The clean and crisp checkering accentuates both the aesthetics and utility of this carefully crafted rifle.
Richly blued and featuring a square finger lever, this alloy steel rifle is equipped with a 20″ cold hammer-forged barrel with standard six-groove rifling and a 1:20″ twist rate. Also capable of shooting the lighter-recoiling .44 Special, the Model 1894 is equipped with a tubular magazine that will accept 10 rounds of .44 Magnum ammunition, or 11 rounds of .44 Special.
“Our focus continues to be on quality,” continued Killoy. “We remain committed to making firearms worthy of John Marlin’s legacy. The fit and finish of this rifle is reminiscent of what was produced by Marlin craftsmen in New Haven, CT many decades ago.”
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.

I have owned the 1894 Marlin in 44 mag. It had micro grove rifleing so getting lead bullets (at the time) to group instead of pattern took some doing. Micro grove was the only thing that I did not like about it. It was a great deer and short range elk getter. The new Ruger/Marlin 1894 has regular lands and groves which should make it easier to reload for. I had to get Marlin’s “cowboy” 1894 to get that rifleing so I could shoot lead bullets reliably some years ago. Something that is often overlooked is that it’s tubular magazine… Read more »
I have killed (cleanly) many deer with the 30/30 on our farms for years ?
Where are these half the price levers. I just priced some and the only ones under 1000 are Rossi levers made in Brazil. The Ubertis from Italy are all in the 1200 dollar range. If you want a cheap lever Classic firearms has Rossis on sale for 7-800. You get what you pay for.
Wish they reestablish the Model 39A line again. I had one as a kid and would love another.
And only $1,350,00! back in the day Marlin made their firearms selling price point so that the average working man with a family could afford their fine products. Ruger on the other hand is pricing their product out of many working folk’s budgets. Yes, we all know the cost of everything has gone up, but Ruger needs to look at the selling price point on some of the other makers rifles which in some cases is almost half the cost of their rifles. sure, the fit, finish and action may not be a good as a high dollar Ruger, but… Read more »
