    It be nice to see the 25/20 and 32/20 come back. They can flood us with 39A's! A lever action in 32 S&W has got giggles all over it.

    First, dispense with the baseball bat fore arms and the cross bolt safety. Something in 32-20, 1894 would be nice.

    Good rifles that don’t have to go back to the factory to fix what should have never passed final inspection. I tend to buy used stuff and have had good luck with my Marlins but others have not been so lucky.

    Barrels clocked correctly and no fat forends and stocks. Ruger paid a pretty high price for Marlin without any real estate so they must be serious about it.

    Great for home defense and plinking.
    They have the PCC. It is a better version of the Camp Carbine. It takes Glock mags and comes in 40 also. Pre-Panic they were selling for under $500.

    I've had one for a couple of years now. It's an awesome little carbine.

    Agreed, the PC carbine is a better gun than the Camp carbine ever was. Now, I think it would be cool for Rugerlin to introduce a throwback PC with a wood stock and Camp Carbine styling.

    Assuming we need not ask for a quality product, I will take 336’s in 219 Zipper and 7x30 Waters and an 1894 in 22 Hornet.

    the Henry bbs 41 mag is a fine gun, but I guess from what I understand there was little demand for it and has been dropped from catalog --
    I haven't heard that. While they didn't come out with the 41 Mag in their new side-loading gate model, they still offer the BBS in 41 Mag as they did before.

    They still offer the 41 Mag in their Brass receiver leverguns too.

    1894 in .22 Mag. I know they made a very few of them, but they must not have sold very well. I would buy one now.

    Offer a slimmer, thinner wood forearm for their lever actions.

    AND, put the rifles together correctly!!!
    I agree.

    Ruger did put 1 in 20 twist in their 77/44 bolt gun...but none of their other 44 mag rifles

    The Marauder without barrel bands.
    And I hope they discontinue the silly ramped, hooded bead front sights on everything else. Dovetailed posts pls.

    Okay, let's see if anybody throws rotten tomatoes at this suggestion:

    All three of the Marlin bolt-action shotguns. The 55 Goose gun, 10 gauge Super Goose gun, and the "Swamp Gun". Why? What was old is now new again.

    For some reason, many younger hunters are going full retro on their firearms, at least what I see here in Nebraska. One group I saw had a '97 Winchester, Ithaca Model 37, A Savage Fox BSE, and a coach gun with hammers. These were not cast offs or hand me downs, these young men can afford what they want. One also has a Marlin Goose Gun and some of the others had made offers to buy it and were politely turned down.

    One thing I can say about that Marlin Goose Gun with the 36" barrel: It surely helps one from stopping his swing on crossing shots, once it gets going!

    I passed on a $200 marlin 10ga goose gun at a gun show just over a year ago and I don't regret it. I remember my first shotgun was a savage or Stevens 20 gauge bolt action. when I finally could afford an 1100 that old bolt action went to a neighbor when the neighborhood suffered a rash of break ins around Christmas one year.
    one elderly man died of a heart attack after coming home to his ransacked house.
    I'll never forget it the whole neighborhood was up in arms and dontcha no several months later the police found the remains of two guys with long rap sheets in a bunch of overgrown bushes. nobody knew anything about anything.
    I might add here, several years ago a bunch of us on another site hit up ruger with an email campaign to bring back the 96. didn't do a thing, they still are no longer making the 96.

    Most of us older hunters remember bolt action shotguns as the ones loaned out or given to kids who just started hunting. We lugged them around while we saw adults with pumps and autos, so they still have a negative connotation with us. Not so with many of the younger generation. In fact, I was with my sons and some of his friends when a Ford LTD station wagon went by:
    "Hey did you see that?!"
    "Yeah, that's Brian's new car he bought."
    "He always gets the cool cars."
