Everyone has a story about a Marlin 1894 in the family. The Classic is chambered in .44 Remington Magnum and .44 Special, with a 20.25 inch barrel and a blued finish. The magazine takes ten rounds of .44 Magnum or eleven of .44 Special, per the maker's notes. The weight is 6.4 pounds.

The notes say the stock and forend are American black walnut with checkering. Receiver, lever and trigger guard plate are CNC machined from alloy steel forgings. The barrel is alloy steel, cold hammer forged. A soft rubber buttpad takes the edge off recoil, and adjustable semi-buckhorn sights make for quick target acquisition. Sling swivel studs and an offset hammer spur are also included.

The 1894 is a brush gun in a pistol caliber. It points fast, shoots flat enough for deer at modest range and handles .44 Special for gentle practice. If you have a .44 revolver, you have a pair.

This is a rifle for a hunter who wants a classic without surprises. Dress it with a good sling and carry it with pride.

The listing is for a new rifle. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
