I know a lot of folks warn against the Remington made Marlins and maybe for good reason. But I have two 1894's made after Marlin was acquired by Remington.
One is a 1894CB with a 20" barrel. The other is a "slot" baby. It is a 1894C made in 2009 with a barrel stamped "North Haven" but with a "REP" stamp instead of a "JM" stamp.
Both function flawlessly and both are very accurate. I honestly don't pay much attention to roll marks. I judge the rifle by how it performs. Are they on par with my 1894 from 1901? Probably not. But they work.
I am interested in Ruger's new offerings but in all honesty I probably won't buy one. My rifles do everything I ask of them.
And I have always liked those Mossberg 30-30's also.
