Modernized Heavy Hitter: The Ruger/Marlin DARK Series Model 1895
Luke Cuenco 01.02.24
The Ruger/Marlin 1895 SBL was launched just a few short years ago to much success and I think that just left the firearms world wanting more lever actions. Ruger/Marlin has just released their new Dark series 1895 lever action rifles featuring modern polymer furniture, a long top-mounted Picatinny rail, and chamberings in 30-30 Winchester, 44 Rem Mag, and of Course 45-70 Govt.

Modernized Heavy Hitter: The Ruger/Marlin DARK Series Model 1895
Featuring a nylon-reinforced polymer stock with M-LOK® attachment slots, Dark Series rifles bring a modern look to the classic Marlin rifle. Nylon-reinforced polymer stock with M-LOK® attachment slots for mounting accessories. The rifle also features an anodized aluminum handguard featuring M-LOK® attachment slots for mounting accessories.
The DARK 1895 will come standard with fiber optic front sights with tritium rings for improved visibility in low-light conditions. The top-mounted Picatinny rail provides a stable mounting surface for scope rings and a variety of optics, a cheek riser included for an optimum sight picture when using an optic, and finally a generous recoil pad that effectively absorbs recoil.
The Ruger/Marlin Dark Series 1895 rifles will be sold for an MSRP of $1,379 with the Model 336 and 1894 coming in early 2024. For more information you can visit the Ruger Firearms website.
