Marlin 1894 SBL .357 Magnum Lever Action Rifle
Classic Lever Action. Modern Precision. Built for a Lifetime.
The Marlin 1894 SBL blends the timeless appeal of a classic lever-action rifle with modern enhancements that hunters, sport shooters, and collectors will appreciate. Chambered in .357 Magnum (and also compatible with .38 Special), it delivers both versatility and performance in one premium package.
Key Features
-
Dual-Caliber Capability – Fires both .357 Magnum and .38 Special for flexible performance in the field or at the range.
-
Cold Hammer-Forged Stainless Steel Barrel – 16.1″ precision barrel with a 1/2″-28 threaded muzzle and protective cap for accessories.
-
CNC-Machined Stainless Steel Components – Receiver, lever, and trigger guard are crafted from forged stainless steel for unmatched strength and corrosion resistance.
-
Optics-Ready Design – Full-length Picatinny rail paired with a ghost ring rear sight and tritium/fiber optic front sight for quick target acquisition in all light conditions.
-
Weather-Resistant Stock – Gray laminated stock and forend resist warping and offer sharp checkering for a secure grip.
-
Oversized Lever Loop – Accommodates gloved hands and maintains classic lever-gun handling.
-
High-Capacity Tubular Magazine – Holds 8 rounds of .357 Magnum or 9 rounds of .38 Special, with a side-loading gate for quick reloads.
-
Comfort and Control – Soft rubber buttpad reduces recoil, while cross-bolt safety and half-cock hammer ensure secure handling.
