I've been wanting to pick up a 1895 SBL (fancy stainless) or 1895 GS (standard stainless) in 45-70 for some time now, have always been on the lookout for a used JM model but to no avail...
Anyone able to comment on the current quality of the newer Remlin versions of these models (made in 2014-2015)? For a long time there was a "don't bother" attitude in reviews after the takeover of Marlin but I was wondering if they had finally cleaned up their act and started making decent products again.
I have a fair few "older" Marlins (70s-80s) that I really like but in this case if quality has improved I wouldn't be opposed to stop looking for a used model and buy new.
Thanks for any info!
