The New Marlin Texan Deluxe

I ran across this Marlin re-incarnation of the 336 Texan from 50-odd years ago, and thought it spiffy.

For your viewing pleasure:

wow , excellent wood …..

[horsesoldier2019]

Definitely a KEEPER!

Looks good. I would like to try it out.

[Sixgun]

Nice rifle....very nice wood......nice bluing...nice engraving...very tasteful.......but why do they have a 10 year old in charge of the wood to metal fit?

+1
At $999 msrp, they could have done a little better.

[Grizz]

Didn't the older Texan have a rounded lever that looks like a Winchester, or did I make that up?

[TomF]

The earliest Texans did have straight round levers. That changed in the early 70s to the square lever.
I'm glad to see they've used a dovetailed front sight in stead of the hideous, hooded, ramp sights.

As stated, the front sight is good, wood choices are very nice too.
With theCNC machines today the wood to metal fit could and should be better.
I just dont care for the gold cowboy & horse. By all means keep the engraving but loose the gold.

[bmtshooter]

The wood on the front stock is still thick as a brick. The fore-end on my older Marlins is nice and slim and fits my hand much better.

[Pitchy]

Nice looking rife, sure has great lookin wood.

[Sixgun]

Looked again and I see the buttstock style is different....more like a shotgun butt....screws are close to being timed...it's been a long time since I liked anything coming out of the factorys......I like it....but agree with Gunny, the gold needs to go....well, maybe a smaller version of the horse and rider on the port side.......slim the forend a bit......

On second thought my tastes always go back to the pre World War One guns.......maybe today's people like it this way.....---The Count

[GunnyMack]

The horse & rider being out in the middle of nowhere just doesn't make sense. I say engrave more of the receiver in simple scroll and case harden it. Maybe a gold line around the barrel at the chamber . But what do I know !?

I'll tell you what you know.......you know the difference between what "class is" by having the knowledge of the way guns used to be made for the well heeled gun owner....today's youngsters consider old classy guns as guns made in the fifties and are rarely exposed to the guns that were real "art" with those long lean visual lines before ww1.....

I never did go for the "flash" of excessive inlaying/engraving.........even on my Jeeps, I always turned the white lettering on the tires to the inside------The Count

[GunnyMack]

Me too! White lettering is for ghetto cruising low riders!!!!

[Rusty]

Bud's Gunshop lists it for $783.

I also like the dove-tailed front sight, but that magazine band position should be moved forward toward the sight. It looks queer sitting back there where it would normally be if the gun had a ramp.

[Plottman]

That is very nice, i like the wood.

[claybob86]

Beautiful wood. The gold horse and rider doesn't bother me, but the gold trigger does. Overall, a very nice looking rifle, and I'm glad Remington is interested enough in the Marlin brand to produce it.

[jeepnik]

Wel, I can't speak for anyone else, but I like it. The wood is very nice. I like the butt pad and sights. About the only thing I'd change and that's me just being a curmudgeon, is the safety. A replacement color cased saddle ring would set it all of nicely.
