Ya I saw the 1895s on Gunbroker and they're going over $2000.....I could never spend that on a lever gun lolNice. The JM stamped 1894 SBL ones are tough to find but not impossible.
Ruger just released the new 1895 Marlins and those as well sell as fast as they hit the stores at a premium price. Seems like they are posting them on Gun Broker and their selling for quite a bit over msrp.
The few reviews I've seen on the new Ruger Marlin sound really good.
Dang elk.... had no idea those were bringing that kind of money. I thought I remember them being a $800 or $900 gun when they came out? 15 years ago or so???
