I have an older Marlin 1894 (1972) that is a great rifle. Shoots jacketed stuff within 2" at a hundred yds, with a peep sight. For my old eyes that's great. A joy to carry all day. My son has the new Ruger and likes it real well, it's scoped and is still handy to carry. It is a lot easier to load and unload than the Marlin. Hope this helps.
