Ruger/Marlin 45-70 Trappers at bass pro/Cabela’s on sale

[bearskinner]

I like the trapper sized 1895's, and I like pistol grip over straight stock as well. They must have bought up the remaining stock, as my little local Cabela's had 14 left when I was there yesterday. Listed at $1,199.00, but Monday there offering 10% off, so I'll pick it up tomorrow for $1,080. Not a bad price.

That's about $500 more than I'd ever spend on a new one but hopefully some get what they want.

 

[Hylander]

That is a great price

That is a good price. I believe I paid 1250 OTD for mine. I figured they would come down in price but I was impatient. But I really like it.

I'm extremely impressed with the fit, finish and feel of this new 1895. As it's rainy and freezing out, I flipped 3 medium rounds in it, after pushing a patch down the tube to check for packing grease. Cycles and shoots flawlessly I didn't run a target out, but just wanted to feel the outcome.
The for-end is slimmer than previous 1895's, and the recoil pad feels great. Should have some sun by weeks end, to play some more

Good for you! Looks like it is built like a tank.

I just saw that in my black friday sales flyer. I'm tempted.

 

[bearskinner]

While I was there, they sold 5 of the 12 they had, so not going to last long

I want one...that price might make me get it.

I put a few more rounds thru it between ranch chores. Just used some mid strength 405 grainers, that I had loaded for my Shilo Sharps. It liked them and rung steel on the 50 yard range. I'll set up a target and shoot for pattern one day. I'm very pleased with the new Ruger/Marlins
There $1199. Mondays till Christmas 10% off firearms, 5% more for military/ first responders- brings it to $1020.

It was a one day deal.

 

[bearskinner]

Mondays (tomorrow) they give you the extra 10% off again. Military or first responders get an extra 5%. Brings the price to $1020.

Local store has one for $1300.00 and they'll usually deal a bit on asking price.
