The Marlin 70433 Model 1894 SBL represents everything shooters love about the classic American-made lever-action rifle, now built under Ruger's meticulous manufacturing standards. This lever gun combines time-tested design with modern enhancements that today's hunters, sport shooters, and home defenders demand.
Chambered in 357 Mag/38 Special, the 1894 SBL delivers versatility whether you're running magnum loads for hunting or practicing with lighter 38 Special rounds. The polished stainless finish and stainless steel barrel provide excellent corrosion resistance, making this Marlin firearm a reliable companion in all weather conditions. A gray laminate stock adds durability and visual appeal while remaining dimensionally stable across temperature and humidity changes.
The 16.1-inch threaded barrel with 1/2-28 thread pattern accepts your choice of muzzle devices, including suppressors and muzzle brakes for reduced recoil and report. For quick target acquisition, this rifle features a fiber optic front sight paired with a tritium ring for low-light visibility, plus an adjustable ghost ring rear sight that enables quick pointing in defensive situations. A Picatinny rail on the receiver allows for optic mounting when precision shooting is the priority.
