Why the MARLIN 1895 TRAPPER stands out

This is a pre-owned Ruger made Marlin Model 1895 Trapper with a 16″ threaded barrel. The short, cold hammer-forged barrel and textured laminate stock make it a durable, compact package for close-to-medium range work. The rifle feeds .45-70 Government rounds, which offer significant terminal performance for big game or heavy-duty utility work.

Key features and field utility

The threaded 16″ barrel allows for easy installation of muzzle devices or suppressors for jurisdictions that permit them. The lever is stainless steel and paired with a cross-bolt manual safety for straightforward, positive handling. A set of 30mm Leupold scope rings is already mounted, and the original peep sight is included for shooters who prefer iron sights or a backup setup. Note: there are slight scratches on the receiver; otherwise the firearm is very clean and in good condition. Photos provide the best condition assessment—review them carefully.

Performance and use cases

.45-70 Government remains a favorite where deep penetration and energy transfer are required. In a 16″ barrel the Trapper balances maneuverability with effective stopping power for brush country hunts, ranch defense, or a camp rifle. The textured laminate stock helps control recoil and provides weather-resistant durability in the field.

Accessories and setup

With 30mm rings mounted, the rifle is optics-ready for low- to mid-power hunting scopes. The threaded muzzle opens options for muzzle brakes or legal accessories where allowed. At a price of $1,199.99, this pre-owned Trapper represents a compact lever-action with modern adaptability and traditional capability.
