Thank you HBC!
Are they in yet :p;) (pure sarcasm!)
thanks for doing this - it’d be great to get one of the XS rail-peep sights that adorn the standard SBL rifles so that I can mount it on my trapper when I get it.
we should have these arriving very soon!Quote:

At this time we don't carry a brake specific to 11/16"-24Quote:

hunting partner looking for one for bear season, hope they are here by may.
I am interested in finding one as well. I've watched a few videos on them and they sure look great.
They ARE wonderful to shoot.
Well balanced, I use mine out to 200 yd.
Love the deep lever, the stainless is a great option glad I went with.
I do wish though , truthfully that mine were the Ruger version.
It appears Ruger has done a great job. I like the subtle changes.
I also have a Remington made one but it actually is really good fit and finish is excellent and it shoots excellent. It is actually one of my favorite guns to shoot. Especially if you hand load It isn't that expensive to shootQuote:

My primary deer gun is a Remlin 336 BL. I disassembled and polished all the internals and lightened the springs a touch before even firing a single shot, but the thing is really well built and smooth as glass now. I love it. I will definitely be looking at a Ruger made 336 or 1895 when they are readily available.Quote:

Yea they are worth the effort. I purchased on before Christmas for my brother, as he has wanted a 45-70 for years, and I just happened across one in stock. The shorter 16" trapper version, grey stock, stainless hardware. Very nice rifle, and very fun to shoot.Quote:

Have already bought all he needs and have reloaded for it using 300 gr bullets. Had it out again last weekend at the range for some more play time before he came and took it home with him. The brass is a hard one at this time, as it seems to be sold out everywhere when I looked a few days ago.
That said, I have not owned other 45-70's so can't compare to those, but I do have several 44 mags, and have had a marlin JM 44 mag. The new ruger is a great rifle, and I can't wait until they come out with other calibers.
I read somewhere they were supposed to be priced around $1700, but now I’m seeing prices around $2500. That’s definitely more than I’m willing to pay. A friend of mine picked up a Henry in 410 recently which is supposed to be the same action as their 45-70 and it was pretty smooth. Henry has a side load and tube now so I’m going to take a look in that direction. It would be nice to compare them side by side

i also had the Henry 45-70 side gate all weather that everyone so badly wants and it was sold the minute I got the Marlin so do with that as you will.
they are amazing guns. Far above any lever gun I’ve put my hands on since I started shooting 6 years ago.
sold my BLR to get the trapper and as soon as I got my hands on it immediately started hunting for the other 2.
some of the nicest factory guns I’ve touched IMO.
retail for the SBL and Trapper is up around $2500 now as confirmed by a couple vendors.
id still pay that price for them TBH.
paid 1550 for the GBL, 1700 for the trapper and 1780 for the SBL.
sold an extra trapper for 2600 and the guy was tripping over himself to pay it, said his local store wanted $2850 all in after tax in Ontario.
Was it you on another thread they were calling “the scalper of westlock”?
shit that makes me laugh. People are salty they don’t have the luck to find the guns they want hahaQuote:

The factory sights on the Henry left a lot to be desired, the loading port was rough and harder to unload and the lever is much “grittier” on the reload than the marlins and the Marlin can wear any number of muzzle devices which is very appreciated with hot loaded 45-70Quote:

out of the 3 new marlins IMO the trapper is the best/nicest, followed by the SBL and then the GBL, it doesn’t have the deepest dark blueing and I do not like the hooded sight what so ever on it.
both are made in USA, one is 500-1000$ cheaper than the other depending where you got it, I believe I paid 1349 for the Henry when I picked it up in Williams lake.
I have seen retail on the new rugers just over $1800 plus the taxes. If you find one out of other provinces it is only 5% taxes and not 12% as in BC. Pays for shipping and saves some.
The henry X model that I have in 44 mag has been excellent, with no issues. I wouldn't say better or worse than the new marlins. The open sights on it were accurate to 100 m from the box, and it now wears a 2-7x33 vx freedom, and I can still use the factory sights under the mounted scope, if I ever need to.
The trapper, (16.5" version) that I was shooting on the new ruger has the skinner sights, factory, but that has to come off to get a rail on it for scope mounting. A new skinner sight, that would allow the sight and scope mount runs about $200 US, so that was a no go.
Granted I was loading the 300 gr 45/70 hot, and running it good, by the felt recoil, and the factory ammo I bought to set the scope on it was manageable compared to the loaded hot rounds. I still personally enjoy the 44 mag over the 45-70, and overall it will be cheaper to run, reload.
I did pick up a second ruger 45-70 that landed just after christmas, as I was trying hard to convince myself to go that route, but decided to sell it, unused. Only took 5 days, as everyone wants one right now and no one wants to wait for them.
They have a bunch of pre-buys already on some sights of the expected next shipment. Our local store did get 3 in, and had them sold before even opening the boxes. You can easy get your name on one of the next round coming in.
The henry X models also have a large after market of different parts available, stocks, muzzle brakes, its all out there. The X model has the threaded barrel, side gate, removable magazine rod to empty it, load it. Something the ruger doesn't have.
All that said, the grey wood stock, stainless combo of the new marlin's are nice, and they function nicely. If it is a 45-70 you want you will not be disappointed by one.
