Marlin 1895 Trapper | .45-70 Govt | 16.17 in | 70912

The Marlin 1895 Trapper is a compact lever-action sporting rifle chambered in .45-70 Government. It pairs a cold hammer-forged stainless barrel and stainless receiver with a Magpul ELG synthetic stock that includes an integrated ammunition quiver and adjustable cheek riser. The rifle ships with Skinner adjustable sights and a Picatinny rail, and the barrel is factory-threaded for muzzle accessories. A durable, brush-friendly choice, this Trapper suits close- to moderate-range big-bore hunting and heavy-framed lever-action field use.

Recommended optic: a low-power variable rifle scope such as a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4×24 provides fast close-range sighting and clear sight picture under $1000, and pairs well with the Trapper’s Picatinny rail and elevated comb options.
