I want one! Can't afford it, but I want one.

Nice gun. I would like to get one but in 357 mag. or 44.

The price they are these days , I'll just stick with my model 336 in 30-30. I wish I could get one of these at the same price I paid for my 336.

I have seen them from $650 to $1,100, but sold out in all prices! This is for the 45-70 anyway!

Maybe I'm stupid, but what makes that rifle "tactical"?

The blacked out look I imagine.
I’m guessing Remington’s way of badging it “Tactical” and charging more money for it. Same question sort of applies to why put a coated black (painted) wood stock on it when they could have used a polymer stock and for-end to save weight. Remington charging big money and going cheap.

I thought they offered it in 44Mag?? No? I really like this offering from Marlin. It is neat and attractive, to me. Shocked they don’t offer it in the tried and true 30-30, I feel they would sell. I’m sold on the 44Mag. I love my 30-30 and would love one of these.

Yup, just like Remington’s 870 Tactical pump shotguns. All black, shorter barrel 18” or so, and a spiked muzzle break to slam into door jams to blow off door hinges Etc.
These Marlin lever guns seem similar using the Tactical vernacular, in that they’ll carbine length for CQB potential, larger lever loop wrapped in bunge cord (along with bunge cord sling), better sights perhaps?, and all black in color.
I like them, Perhaps One day I’ll get one. I already own the Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70, which I like, I think it needs a brother to keep it company
