Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I was just over on another forum where there was a discussion that RUGER could be in negoations to purchase REMINGTON. I could see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottonmouth Mark Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 As I understand, they were the winning bidder for the Marlin section of Remington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 They would be buying Marlin after Marlin got their stuff together building their guns after Remington mucked everything up. The Marlin 1894CB that I bought a year and a half ago is a reliable and accurate piece of hardware. I can see it now...Sturm - Ruger promoting Cowboy Action Shooting by offering good deals on Cowboy guns for revolver and rifle packages. That would be pretty cool.

Marlin, by Sturm - Ruger on the Green near the Round at Ilion ...just kidding. Here’s an informative Marlin article: http://www.whitetailtrackers.com/2018/03/an-illuminating-trip-to-the-marlin-firearms-factory/ Just thought I would throw that in for some interesting reading.

Chantry Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My prediction, after taking a quick look at the current Marlin product line, is that Ruger will keep the rimfire, pistol caliber & rifle caliber lever actions and phase out or eliminate the Marlin rimfire semi-autos & bolt action rifles. This increases Ruger's presence in the cowboy and lever action hunting rifle markets. I never got the impression that Ruger's attempts at lever action rifles sold well.

DeaconKC Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 A friend of mine had one of those Ruger .44 lever guns. With one magazine ran like a champ, the other magazine was not reliable. Might have had something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make no sense to not keep Marlin’s entire catalogue of guns. That’s my prediction. They’ll keep it all and probably add some models. Pards, I know everyone in the SASS world thinks that CAS makes up a big market share for gun companies but the reality is, we don’t. Hell, no one promotes SASS or CAS any more, not even SASS. I can’t tell you all how many times in the past 4 years I have mentioned Cowboy Action Shooting in a gun store or at a range and I have gotten the response “Do they (or people) still do that?” When people in the gun business think our sport is dead that is not a good sign. Maybe Ruger can revive it? That would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marlin rimfire semi-autos & bolt action rifles will compete directly with rifles that Ruger is already making, so from that perspective it doesn't make much sense to continue producing them. However if the sales numbers justify it maybe Ruger will decide to keep those guns in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The big advantage the Model 60 has over the 10/22 is the fixed magazine for states or localities that want to ban any firearm capable of accepting magazines over 10 rounds.
