Ruger-made production from Mayodan, North Carolina, distinguishes this SBL with updated manufacturing and the RM-prefix serial range that identifies its lineage. The rifle retains the SBL configuration with stainless construction and a rugged, weather-resistant finish.
The 19.1" stainless barrel is cold hammer-forged and factory threaded, paired here with a stainless spiral-ported muzzle brake. Side ejection and a 5-round tubular magazine maintain the classic 1895 layout, while the large-loop lever and a 13.5" length of pull offer confident handling.
Sighting equipment includes an adjustable ghost-ring rear aperture and a fiber-optic green front in a ramped base. A full-length top Picatinny rail runs the receiver and barrel for continuous mounting real estate across the top of the rifle.
The gray/black laminated hardwood stock and forend feature a straight grip, laser-cut checkering, rubber recoil pad, and sling swivel studs. A laser-etched Marlin horse-and-rider logo and the red/white Marlin bullseye in the stock add factory detail without sacrificing durability.
Factory specs list overall length at about 37.25" and weight around 7.3 lb. The cross-bolt safety, stainless receiver, and USA manufacture round out a 2020s-era SBL that combines classic chambering with modern materials and features.
