This has become my go to hunting rifle. For those that want the feeling of an old school cowboy gun with the capability an power of a modern rifle. This is the gun for you Marlin has done just that with this rifle. An to be able to have 9+1 capacity of 45-70 is great either for range or hunting.

Purchased to shoot long range at Cowboy matches. Took first one year and second next year at match in Parker KS. No Complaints.

I could not be more pleased with this Marlin 45-70 big bore lever rifle. The action is smooth for a factor rifle and the factory sights are pretty close to dead on accuracy at 100 yards. Only a minor and quick adjustment needed to be made to print a 2 inch group at this distance.

This rifle is a beast. I love lever guns. The 45-70 Gov't loaded hot is not for the faint of heart but this rifle eats supercharged 45-70 Gov't "pills" like candy and puts the where you aim them. If your plinking then the cowboy loads have minimal recoil out of this behemoth. I have never hunted anything bigger than a wild boar, which can get big , but I am confident that anything that walked the North American continent could be brought down with the Marlin 1895 45/70 Gov't "Cowboy" lever action (with the right load).

Love this rifle! I found a hairline Crack across the stock and had to return it to the factory but they replaced it and got it back to me quickly.
My sons and I had a blast with it "banging the gong" at over 300 yards.

I love my 'thumper!
Marlin may have been wrought with poor fit/ finish in the past. While I wouldn't give an A on my stock, neither would I consider it bad. I imagine they're getting better. I compared it to a Henry, and not like theirs was significantly better. I also love the side loader on the Marlin as compared to Henry's more cumbersome tube feed. The action was a little tight at first but has gotten butter smooth after a few hundred rounds. No feed issues, and you can't beat the round capacity of this model, although that does add into the heft.
This gun will eat up anything you shove in it, from low power cowboy rounds to shoulder breaking hot like Buffalo Bore.
IMHO the guns sweet spot is when using Hornady.
Hot enough with manageable felt recoil, with decent flat(ter) trajectory for a big bore.

There is something about a long barrel lever action rifle! I originally bought this rifle just because it looks cool (and I had some available disposable income). I have since discovered than it is accurate, reliable and a joy to shoot. I have debated using it for a long range blackpowder cartridge shooting competition, but got sticker shock from the receiver sight needed to reach 1000 yards. Instead, my 189CB has become a hunting rifle with a shorter range receiver sight. Even with the factory buckhorn rear sight, this rifle would gong consistently at 180 yard on an USPSC steel target. Very nice rifle. Despite to hate shown towards the "Remlin" levers, I have found mine as good or better than my Marlin "JM" 1895CB!

Awesome gun. Price is way cheaper than other comparable 45-70s in its class. But for dang near 1000 bucks delivered, it has 2 flaws. I wish it had an oldschool halfcock safety. The safety it does have is a push button on the side of the receiver. This wouldn't really be a problem. But mine appears to be made of plastic. I'm not a fan of that. Also the wood stock seems like its lacking with the fit and finish. It's pretty dull. Even a bit of oil rubbed into the stock would have made it look 10 times better in my opinion. Also there are some slight gaps in some places, where some of the wood meets the metal. The gaps aren't super noticeable. But I would have expected better for 1000 bucks. It shoots like a dream! It will hold 9 1, I love that part. It cycles pretty good, everything is nice and tight. I expect it to loosen up a little bit (in a good way) once I put some rounds through it. Love the tapered octagon barrel. Its pretty long at 26 inches, but that's why I wanted it. It is true to the old school style. I plan on refinishing the stock, and I'm not a huge fan of the safety. Like I said for 1000 dollars I would have hoped it be a bit better. Over all I'm pleased with it. 4/5 stars. And as always buds was great to work with
