With their tapered octagon barrels, these rifles offer true cowboy-rifle heft and aesthetics for everyone from the die-hard Cowboy Action Shooter to the hunter who appreciates 19th century-style firearms. The Marlin Model 1895 Cowboy is chambered for 45-70 Gov't. and is equipped with a 26" barrel. Also,featuring traditional Ballard-style rifling, handsome American black walnut stock and fore-end, and richly blued finish.
Crooked front site, horrendous trigger, subpar fit/finish on the wood. Unfortunately, I am very displeased with Marlin, their pride of craftsmanship is lacking. On the other hand SOSS is a great seller with fast shipping!
