The Marlin Model 1895 in .450 Marlin is a lever-action rifle chambered in a modern high-pressure .45-caliber cartridge developed by Marlin and Hornady to deliver .45-70 Government performance in a belted cartridge that prevents chambering in older rifles not rated for modern high-pressure loads. The 18.5-inch barrel and classic American lever-action configuration make this an ideal close-range hog and bear rifle for hunters in dense brush. Ruger's acquisition of Marlin in 2020 has improved manufacturing quality substantially.
