1895 GUIDE GUN .45-70

The Ruger-built Marlin 1895 Guide Gun in .45-70 Government is Ruger's modern remake of the legendary stainless guide-gun, the .45-70 lever action that earned its name guiding clients in big-bear country. Manufactured by Ruger after their acquisition of the Marlin brand, the new 1895 Guide Gun preserves the original's 18.6" barrel, large lever loop, and gray laminate stock while applying modern manufacturing tolerances. Designed for close-range protection from dangerous game.

.45-70 Government from a guide-length 1895 produces enormous stopping power fully loaded heavy-bullet hunting loads from this carbine deliver muzzle energy comparable to a .458 Winchester. The 18.6" barrel splits the difference between trapper handiness and ballistic performance, and the lever-action format gives a fast follow-up shot that bolt-action big-bore rifles cannot match. Stainless construction resists weather and salt corrosion, making this a serious choice for coastal Alaska, Montana mountain country, or anywhere big animals are part of the equation.
