Normally Ruger firearms sell for around 70% of MSRP.
That would put the street around $870, but we won't see that price till things settle down.
I know lots of people want Ruger to bring back the 39A. But how many of those people are actually willing to lay down ~$900 for one.
Lever guns have never been inexpensive to produce.
The last Marlin produced guns was back in 2007 and I think a lot of people are still remembering the prices at that time.
Suggested retail for the 1895 SBL is $1479 but they are consistently selling for over that.
Ruger is being smart and not flooding the market with them. Let them trickle out and sell, instead of flooding the market and having them sit around.
Well, back about 20 years ago, probably about when you were born, a guy COULD walk into any pawnshop in town and find a selection of Marlin leverguns for that price.Used to laugh at the old geezers coming in the shop expecting to find lever actions for $100-125.00........
What makes you one of those boomers we laugh at is the fact that you post in response to someone with absolutely zero foundation to make a comment.Well, back about 20 years ago, probably about when you were born, a guy COULD walk into any pawnshop in town and find a selection of Marlin leverguns for that price.
Believe it or not, 20 years ago is not all that long ago.
Times change, things become "desirable" all of a sudden, and something that's actually worth around $200 is going for close to a thousand.
All the guys that didn't want one when they were cheap, now just have to have one...FOMO.
Guess that makes me one of those old geezers you laugh at....
Like i said in a different thread, age has no effect on stupidity. I'll be as dumb tomorrow as i am today.I'm not taking the bait.........
Being young doesn't mean I'm stupid.........
well, I'm not gonna prolong a pissing contest, but just because you've been on here a long time doesn't give you the go-ahead to ridicule a whole generation of shooters, who have likely forgotten more than you'll ever know about guns and pricing, etc...What makes you one of those boomers we laugh at is the fact that you post in response to someone with absolutely zero foundation to make a comment.
You should read more and get a clue about the longer term members you are making snide comments at them
but reading comprehension might not be your strong point.... nobody said you were stupid.I'm not taking the bait.........

OK boomerwell, I'm not gonna prolong a pissing contest, but just because you've been on here a long time doesn't give you the go-ahead to ridicule a whole generation of shooters, who have likely forgotten more than you'll ever know about guns and pricing, etc...
I mean, you certainly can DO it, but not without some response....
If that gets your knickers in a twist..... jimmy crack corn....
and my response was certainly not "bait"..... it was simply what it was... a response to a derogatory post.
