The Marlin® Model 1895 Guide Gun is a rugged, big-bore lever-action rifle built for serious hunting applications, combining classic styling with modern manufacturing enhancements. Designed for reliability in harsh conditions, it features durable construction, smooth cycling, and quick handling—making it ideal for brush hunting, backcountry defense, and large game pursuits.
Crooked front site, horrendous trigger, subpar fit/finish on the wood. Unfortunately, I am very displeased with Marlin, their pride of craftsmanship is lacking. On the other hand SOSS is a great seller with fast shipping!
I got that rifle around 23 years ago and its everything I expected. Shoots great, the action is smooth and hits the target great. I couldn't ask for a better rifle and mine is stamped JM on the barrel.
