I won't be buying that one but others will. Long live Marlin! 
The New Marlin 1895 SBL .45/70 Rifle Is the Best Lever-Action in the Company's History
The Marlin faithful can rest easy. The new Ruger-made Marlin 1895 SBL is the best factory-made lever-action in the company's history.
MSRP $1400. Yikes!
I'll take mine in .357....
What a coincidence! My son just sent me that article. Even though he already has a Marlin 45/70 he intends to get one of these. He is single and doesn’t have to explain the necessity of it and it makes perfect sense since he has reloaded a lot of 45/70 ammo.The New Marlin 1895 SBL .45/70 Rifle Is the Best Lever-Action in the Company's History

Yes, I might actually be able to convince my lovely War Department that this is a necessary expenditure.... Singleness has it's advantages....tho if I were single I'd probably be dead, and most likely unable to afford one of these.... BUT! not having to justify one's purchases every single time one opens his wallet would be nice..... but as was said in the "Geritol" commercial years ago, "my wife, I think I'll keep her."
Add me to that list. Been considering a nice Henry in .357 for a while. I like my Henry's and their .357s are a joy to shoot. Heavy, but fun. Even with my stout reloads.
I think Ruger was the logical, most perfect "choice" to make this gun.Sounds like Ruger has put a lot of thought, attention and detail into their Marlin line.
Lol, you start agreein' with me and you'll need a second or third opinion!
Yes, and spiral flutes, probably to reduce friction further.
