Marlin 1894 Trapper | .357 Mag | 16.1″ | 8-Rd | 70452

The Marlin 1894 Trapper is a compact lever-action sporting rifle built for quick handling in close terrain. This example ships with a cold hammer-forged stainless barrel that is factory-threaded and a durable black laminate stock with a soft rubber buttpad. For a cost-effective optic that complements the Trapper’s short sight radius and hunting-oriented role, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 scope or a Vortex Diamondback 2-7×35; both are priced well under $1,000 and provide appropriate magnification and durability for short- to mid-range work.

Applications: medium-game hunting in dense brush and backcountry/pack carry where compact handling and reliable feeding are priorities.
