I love mine! I shoot an Accurate 460-405V plain base boolit sized to .460" lubed with 2500+ and loaded over 42gr of IMR3031 With killer accuracy!

Anyone have any experience ordering from those guys??
It's Fri PM, doubt you could get it done by the 7/30 rebate deadline. But tempting...
The Sportsman's Den in Shelby OH had them for $400 after rebate. Im a big Henry fan but It was tempting.
Kids bought me a Marlin 1895 Cowboy 45-70 for fathers day. Sadly it was a *** and had to be sent back for repairs. The barrel was so badly cut that there were chunks missing from the rifling and not just little ones but 1/8th inch ones out of the lands as deep as the rifling. I'm just a little POed at Remington at the moment. This rifle was built in 2012 and I have to wonder how many times it's been recycled to dealers hoping someone won't know any better or just buys it and sticks it in the safe. Dealer said 3 to 4 weeks turn around and it arrived back at Remington over four weeks now. Spend your money and take your chance if you like. Gp
Not sure of the vendor, however, I love each of my 1895 models. I have 4 and they all shoot mighty fine with the same boolit Waco illustrated. Mine are the GC variety however.
I'm thinking they might have some of those problems ironed out since 2012. It is a shame what Remington did to Marlins reputation. Good luck to you and keep us informed how it turns out.Originally Posted by gpidaho

If it matters. Mine is a JM barrel I bought in 2005.

So, not sure when the postmark is supposed to be.

I saw the postmark date. Having submitted a rebate or two in the past, I know that the receipt/bill of sale MUST be dated before the end of the rebate period. In this case, that is tomorrow. I doubt if you could buy the rifle on-line and have the receipt come to you dated by 7/30/17. The 8/30/17 date just gives you a month to get things in the mail.
Gunprodeals are pushing the Marlin rifles right now, and they have a count down clock running to show time left to take advantage of the rebates.
They are still showing 1 day plus left.
I took a chance and ordered one of the 22" barreled models. It came out to $438 +$14.95 shipping, and I get free transfers, so mine will come in around $360 after rebate.
I placed my order about 4pm est Friday.
Gunprodeals website shows they are open Saturdays until 7pm so I'm hoping they'll process my order before the deadline.
That is a great deal. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
I have seen several NEW Marlins and all of them have been really nice. If I was ordering a new gun from anyone who had to get it from a distributor I would certainly specify a no earlier than a 2016 date for manufacture.
I'm sure some of the big distributors have guns in stock from way back.
The ones made during the transition were iffy sometimes. All the new stuff I've seen lately, (looked at a new 336 today) and everything about the guns were nice.

OK, you guys talked me into it. Supposedly my receipt will be dated today. If Rem actually sends me the rebate I will end up with an 1895 Rifle for $368 shipped and transferred. I should probably get another one!!
Man I should got one but too late now I thought I wouldn't have the receipt
Well, whichever you pick, you can't go wrong. Even the current Remlins are decent. My favorite is my JM 1895GS.
The 1895 Cowboy is my favorite .45-70 of the few I've fired over the years. I had an original 1895 reissue in the 80's that I converted to trapper style by cutting the barrel to 17" and dovetailing the front sight back in. A cowboy in the Rockies wanted it bad so I sold it to him.
I hope It's served it's owners well.
I like the way that long octagon barrel on the cb hangs on target.
Best, Thomas.

Take a look at the 1895 CBA if you're wanting to replace the shorter octagonal barreled CB.
The one I like is the 26" octagon. A buddy had one and we loaded some 340 Lees
over Unique and we were hitting clays at 100 yrs after the drop was figured. I asked for dibs if he ever sold it- he raffles it. I hate that guy.....
