Key Features & Benefits

• 16.1″ Threaded Stainless‑Steel Barrel
  Precision‑machined and threaded (½‑28), the stainless barrel allows easy attachment of muzzle devices or suppressors (where legal), without sacrificing rigidity or point‑of‑aim consistency. Its heavy‑contour profile resists barrel whip, yielding tight 1–1.5 MOA groups at 100 yards with both .357 Magnum and .38 Special loads.

• Factory‑Mounted Picatinny Rail
  Integrated directly atop the action, the rail accepts your choice of reflex sights, low‑power optics, or red‑dot systems. No gunsmithing is required, and zero holds true shot after shot—perfect for quick‑acquisition shooting scenarios or low‑light hunts.

• Gray Laminate Stock
  The SBL stock’s multi‑layer laminate is both dimensionally stable and weather‑resistant. Its neutral gray finish camouflages metalware, while the sculpted cheekpiece and reinforced palm swell ensure a consistent sight picture and recoil‑absorbing comfort during extended sessions.

• Proven Lever‑Action Reliability
  Marlin’s patented side ejection and elevator‑style carrier deliver smooth, snag‑free cycling. The action’s internal geometry ensures positive extraction and feeding—even under adverse field conditions—making follow‑up shots fast and dependable.

• 8+1 Capacity & Versatile Ammunition
  Equipped with a tubular magazine holding eight rounds, plus one in the chamber, the 1894 SBL balances firepower with a sleek profile. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it also cycles lighter .38 Special rounds flawlessly—for crowned‑corking plinking or pest control with reduced recoil.

Ideal Use Cases

• Big‑Game & Medium‑Game Hunting
  Deliver ethical, one‑shot kills on deer, hogs, and black bear. The .357 Magnum offers formidable terminal performance at typical lever‑action distances, while your threaded barrel ensures adaptability to noise‑sensitive environments.

• Home Defense & Property Protection
  Leverage quick lever cycling and low‑light optic setups to respond decisively to threats. The rifle’s natural pointability and manageable weight make rapid target transitions intuitive, even in confined spaces.

• Recreational Shooting & Plinking
  Enjoy the accuracy and tactile feedback of lever‑action shooting. Alternate between .357 Magnum for power drills and .38 Special for economical practice—all with a single firearm.
