T he first repeating rifle offered by Marlin

Firearms was the Model 1881 (manufactured1881 to 1992), a side-loading, top-ejection lever actionwith a full-length tubular magazine that held nine car-tridges, plus one in the chamber. The receiver wasrather compact but nonetheless capable of housingcomparatively lengthy cartridges such as .32-40, .38-55, .40-60, .45-85 and .45-70 (Government). This wassignificant, as Winchester had been unsuccessful indeveloping a repeater for the .45-70, for which therewas demand in both the civilian and military markets.Winchester had its Model 1876, but it was not capableof handling that cartridge, and the company devel-oped the .40-60, .45-60, .45-75 and .50-95 WCF car-tridges in hopes of meeting the demand of big gamehunters seeking a powerful big-bore repeater. In spiteof those successes, there was still a huge demand fora .45-70 repeater.

It had only been 15 years since Winchester began of-fering its famous lever-action rifles, starting with theModel 1866 and followed by the Models 1873 and1876, but the company had already become an indus-try giant with little competition. John Marlin startedbuilding single-shot rifles and handguns as early as1870, but when the Model 1881 appeared, it was abombshell to Winchester. First, it was capable of com-peting with Winchester’s product line. Second, andeven worse, it was chambered for the official U.S. mil-itary cartridge. Winchester engineers again went towork to develop a competing model, but it was notuntil a young Utah gunsmith and inventor named JohnBrowning sold Winchester the patent rights for whatwould become known as the Model 1886 that thecompany was able to respond to the Marlin challenge.

Marlin submitted its Model 1881 rifle to the “U.S. Mil-

itary Trials to Select a Magazine Gun” conducted dur-ing 1881 and 1882. The rifle was an early version thathad a split carrier system, which was a less reliabledesign than found on the majority of later productionversions. The rifle had some issues, including leavingcartridges in the magazine, but was rejected fromadoption primarily for “explosions in the magazinetube.” It is interesting that Marlin specified ammuni-tion with small primers, but the tests used ammuni-tion containing large primers.

On the other hand, the Marlin Model 1881 gave im-pressive results in other areas, including rapid-fireevents, wherein 10 shots were fired in seven seconds.Accuracy was good and function was positive evenafter being intentionally rusted. It also handled gasesproperly, as it was fed faulty cartridges that were pre-cut to rupture. The action was well protected with thebolt (located on top of the receiver) closing off areasfor dirt and debris to enter. The loading gate was asliding, spring-loaded cover that likewise offered su-perb protection. After being subjected to considerablerust, dust and dirt, the military concluded that it had“little or no effect” on function.

In spite of being rejected by the U.S. military, theModel 1881 became noteworthy among hunters, law-men and those needing a powerful repeater. Even the

MARLIN MODEL 1881.45-70

Top: Winchester’s Model 1876 (replica) could nothouse the .45-70 cartridge. Middle: Marlin’s Model1881 was the first lever-action rifle chambered in .45-70. Bottom: Winchester was only able to produceits Model 1886, a lever action suitable for the .45-70,after purchasing the patents from John Browning.

The Marlin Model 1881 features top ejection and asliding spring-loaded gate.


M arlin replaced the Model 1881 with the Model1895. The ’95 was produced from that year

through 1915 and was truly a modern design. The me-chanics were essentially the same as current Marlinlever-action rifles, but it featured a flat bolt ratherthan the current round version and usually had a case-colored receiver that could handle cartridges up to 2.4inches (.45-90) in length. It took a few decades, butshooters again began to realize just how useful big-bore leverguns are for hunting a variety of big game.

Due to great demand, in 1972, Marlin again offeredthe Model 1895 .45-70, but this version is based on theModel 336 action (with round bolt for enhancedstrength) with internal changes to accept the .45-70cartridge. In the nearly 40 years since, it has been incontinual production and offered in many variations,including blue steel and stainless, the popular GuideGun and Cowboy versions, as well as several othervariations.

In spite of the first levergun chambered in .45-70(Government) appearing 130 years ago, I still considermodern configurations a staple in my collection of rifles. The Model 1895S, as first offered in 1972, is aspecial favorite. Reasons include its longer (than cur-rent) length of pull at 133⁄4 inches, straight stock lever,2⁄3-length magazine with a four-round capacity and 22-inch barrel. It weighs 71⁄2 pounds. It is at home as asaddle rifle, where compactness and power are de-sired; or hunting elk in the dark timber, where quar-tering or raking shots on moving game are common;or the potentially dangerous job of finishing a woundedgrizzly in the alders.

For those purposes the rifle must balance correctly

a premium condition example, butsuch guns are commanding sub-stantial cash these days, and it’sbest to keep those out of my handsbecause they will be put to work!Resting in my collection is a gen-uine frontier rifle that shows con-siderable use, but mechanically it is good and the bore is best described as “strong rifling with light pitting.” This particular Model1881 is chambered for “45 Govt”and is so marked on top of the barrel, but it’s now more com-monly known as the .45-70. As aside note, Marlin specified that .45Govt. ammunition consist of a405-grain flatnose lead bullet with70 grains of powder, with Marlin(small) primers (to prevent maga-

to offer a fast first shot but must also aid in preciseoffhand shooting. When hunting larger game, includ-ing the African big five, it carries superbly and can befed proper handloads or select factory loads that offerplenty of punch. With proper 400- to 430-grain bulletspushed between 1,800 and 2,100 fps, the .45-70 is ca-pable of taking any game animal on earth. R

zine tube explosions). It featuresthe standard 28-inch octagonalbarrel (with 24 and 30 inches op-tional) and appears to have beenmanufactured in 1889.

In studying and shooting manytypes of guns from this period, Iam always amazed at the preci-sion machining and superb handpolish work, which this Marlinclearly demonstrates. It may alsobe of interest that John Marlingained much of his early fame forbuilding the Ballard single-shotrifle, which was known for its out-standing accuracy. A period adver-tisement makes that point, thenstates: “. . . insures the accuracy of the shooting, which we confi-dently assert is superior to that ofany other repeating rifle in theworld.” Clearly Marlin was confi-dent in the accuracy of its new repeating rifle! In studying thisbarrel, with six lands and grooveswith a right-hand twist, it is straightand cut with precision, explainingwhy this model likewise earned areputation of accuracy among pe-riod shooters and hunters.

The action runs smoothly and in firing this rifle off and on foraround 20 years, it has generallyfunctioned properly. With somecase makes and bullet combina-tions, it has failed to pick up thecartridge from the magazine, andcases with maximum rim diam -eter can be difficult to get throughthe loading gate. When fed correctammunition, however, it workswithout a hitch. It should be pointedout how cartridges are picked upfrom the magazine and literallyheld by the carrier until they are more than halfway into thechamber.

For fun and curiosity, I broke outmy PACT timer, loaded the riflewith nine cartridges and one in thechamber. It was not a problem to rapid-fire 10 shots inside sevenseconds, as long as cartridgeswere always picked up from themagazine tube.

Atop this Euromark is a Meopta 3-9x 42mm scope in Talley rings and bases.

The Euromark, when introduced in1986, was the big-ticket item.

the Mark V led the pack, and the Euromark, intro-duced in 1986, was the big-ticket item. All decked outin a typical Weatherby stock, oil finished and equippedwith all the extra fineries that make a Weatherby, itwas available in all major Weatherby calibers, plus the.30-06. While available in the catalog for a number ofyears, it dropped out of sight for a short period. Thisyear it’s back, upgraded with a few changes and avail-able through the custom shop.

Comparing this stock with the previous model, thereare some changes in design, starting at the forend tip,which has been shortened somewhat and lacks thegraceful curves that finish it off on the muzzle end.Still profiled from rosewood, it is attached to the mainstock minus a white spacer so familiar on productiongrade rifles. There is also an upgraded checkering pat-tern on this Euromark. While the previous rifle hadthe same point pattern, the newer version’s pattern issurrounded by a neatly cut border.

In the receiver area, both the bolt cut and removalof wood under the receiver cut are well finished. In-letting within the stock is well defined with reinforc-ing behind the glass-bedded receiver lug as well as the area that bridges the gap of the magazine and trig-ger assembly. Steel rods strengthen the gun againstthe forces of recoil, especially on the larger magnumcartridges. Furthermore, Weatherby uses a three-point bedding system with the additional point or“pressure ridge” just behind the forend tip. This onerests against the bottom part of the barrel with justenough upward pressure to keep vibrations at baywhile still enhancing accuracy through a free-floatingbarrel. To ensure the bottom metal mates with thebarreled action, shims are installed around the stockscrews to make a clean, tight fit.

One of the first rifles I ordered was a semi-custom7mm Weatherby Magnum with a few add-ons, includ-ing a customized action and a nice piece of dark, fiddleback wood that was handpicked at the factory.For that, I was grateful and pleased that a company,any company, would go out of its way to help a newcustomer.

While all the glossy finished rifles seem to take prece-dence in the Weatherby line, the company started todabble in satin-finished stocks. For those on morelimited budgets, production rifles were the way to go,even in the lower cost Vanguard.

Before the huge popularity of the Vanguard series,

According to the book Weath-

erby by Grits Gresham andTom Gresham, the start ofthe company began around

1942 when Roy, while on a hunt inUtah, wounded a deer and after track-ing it, lost the animal. Starting to thinkin another direction, his theory wasthat a bullet traveling at a higher velocity should do the trick in a moreefficient manner, especially if it didnot hit a vital organ. Following upwith a rebuttal to a Sports Afield ar -ticle by Charles Askins, Weatherbydemonstrated his experiences withlarger cases that in fact deliveredmore velocity.

From the rebuttal, he started to get letters encour-aging him to enter the niche business of high-capacity(magnum) cartridges. With this, he had the motivationto go into business and rented his first store for $100a month. In August 1945, Roy Weatherby was on hisway.

Weatherby’s custom rifles, through his promotionalefforts, managed to garner publicity through sales tomovie stars, a Prince here and there and, of course,high-raking politicians and a few astronauts. He usedmany vendors to offer the products he envisioned,and his high-comb, glossy finished, select wood riflesbecame a staple in the marketplace.

The pistol grip has a comfortablesweep to it but is missing the out-ward swell at the bottom of thegrip. Nevertheless, it’s not a bigdeal, and for those who never had a Weatherby rifle, it will notbe missed. The Weatherby rose-wood tip is there, sans whitespacer, and includes an inlaid dia-mond shape. Like the forearm, thecheckering is cut in a 20-lpi pointpattern complete with a borderand backward flair at its base.

What’s a Weatherby without thehigh comb? This rifle has it com-plete with a slightly undercutcheekpiece. Typical of Weatherby,the stock has a right-hand cast-off that, according to Weatherby,

the stock is smooth. With the ap-plication of a hand-rubbed oil fin-ish, the rifle is impressive to lookat, hold and shoot.

The action is pure Weatherby.Seems that over the years, non-magnum Mark V actions have beendownsized, which results in lessweight. Where the larger magnumcaliber rifles still carry the nine-lug bolt, rifles chambered in stan-

At the butt of the stock is a soft, classic Decelerator padcomplimented by a black spacer.Sling swivel studs are installed onboth the forearm and the butt ofthe stock.

The overall quality of the wood is good, with a moderate amount of grain and color and some fid-dleback figure. A closer look at the stock shows all areas are well finished especially aroundthe curves on the pistol grip andthe under -cut cheekpiece. The tran-sition between the rosewood and

Above, Stan likes the forend tipon the original Euromark (top)over the slightly shorter rosewoodtip on the new version (bottom).

The original “magnum” bolt (top) with its nine locking lugs is muchlarger than the medium action bolt (bottom) with its abbreviated six-lug system. A .30-06 cartridge is shown for scale.

dard or non-magnum calibers nowhave a six-lug bolt that cuts over-all weight of the receiver from35.9 to 25.9 ounces, a savings ofaround 28 percent. For those wholike standard cartridges similar tothe .270 Winchester, .308 Winches-

ter or .30-06, the weight differencein a complete rifle can be almost 2pounds. In fact, I was surprisedwhen I outfitted this rifle with ascope, rings and bases, and it onlycame to around 7 pounds withoutammunition.

The six-lug bolt measures .695inch in diameter, verses the nine-lug coming in at .825 inch. Overall

length for the former (includingthe shroud) is 7⅛ inch; on the lat-ter, almost 8 inches! Other changesinclude a smaller and slightlyshorter bolt knob as well as adownsized bolt shroud on thesmaller action. Regardless of ac-tion length, both include a 54-degree bolt lift and a recessed boltface that includes a powerful ex-tractor and the traditional plunger

Although the action is smallerthan the typical Mark V, it retainsthe Weatherby safety lever andcocking indicator that projectsfrom under the bolt shroud.

Since the rifle is run throughthe custom shop, barrel length isnot an issue and can be reduced orlengthened (within limits). Thissample came with a common 24-inch length. Sporter weight in pro-file, this rifle measures 1.100 inchesat the receiver/barrel juncture, ta-pering to .660 inch at the muzzlewith a field crown. The barrel iswithout sights, but the receiver is drilled and tapped for scopemounting.

The .30-06 is certainly no strangerto those living in this country.Over the years there have beenreams of content on this cartridge,and it is not going to end soon.The reason stems from its abilityto handle a large range of bulletweights from light to very heavy,which makes it highly adaptablefor most anything you would hunton this continent and beyond.

Out on the range, with samplesfrom Hornady, Remington and Win -chester, I put the rifle through itspaces. For hunting, the thin “pen-cil” contour barrel is great as it is light and more than accurateenough for most North Americanhunting forays. On the range, thelighter barrel conducts heat like a black car in the sun, so a littlepatience is due here. After firingsix rounds to clear the barrel of

cleaning solvent, the barrel waswarm to the touch. I had someother testing to do, so I put theWeatherby in the shade and let itcool for more than an hour. ThenI fired a shot, waited a minute andfired another until I ran throughthree rounds. Moving on to thenext brand of ammunition, I waiteda full 10 minutes so the rifle wouldcool somewhat.

At the end, the results were im-pressive. Nothing grouped largerthan 1½ inches at 100 yards. TheHornady 150-grain Spire Pointboat-tail shot best with three shotsprinting a nice one-inch group.From here, the Winchester Silver-tip boat-tail grouped 1½ inches,followed by Remington’s 180-grainpointed softpoint at 1¼ inches.

Handloading might get things alittle tighter, but I don’t think you


can argue about one-inch groups.For pronghorn or deer, a 150-grainbullet in any guise is as perfect asone can get, considering velocity

and trajectory of the .30-06. I’veused that bullet weight for bothand never came away wanting.

Operation of the rifle was firstclass; I had no trouble with anyrounds feeding, even if I mixedthem up (150, 165 and 180) in theprocess. The Meopta scope wasbright and clear, and any focusingchange on the rear turret deliv-ered instant results to the shooter.Considering the Euromark is nowa Weatherby Custom Shop itemwith some options (muzzle brake,engraving, etc.), you can count onit to deliver the product in a timelyfashion, set up for your needs andcartridge choice.

The Bolt Action Rifl e I & II by Stuart Otteson - CD ROMAuthor Stuart Otteson explores the original records and the bolt-action rifl es themselves to reveal the fi ne nuances of many popular bolt-action mechanisms. The drawings exemplify the study; they were done by working from the guns, not factory drawings, old blueprints or catalogs. Few draftsmen have so clearly and economically delineated fi rearms mechanisms. The design facts collected and interpreted by Otteson are likewise his, taken directly from the guns. You will fi nd in this book such things as lock times, spring rates and cam angles. There is also considerable historical content. Most of it is based on the record of patents, again personally researched by the author. For the modern actions, the historical recitation is based on the public record and on the recollections and statements of the men who did the design work.

Gibbs’ Cartridges - CD ROMThe Gibbs line of wildcat cartridges has aroused curiosity since the mid-1960s. Handloaders ex-pound and argue the velocity claims and cartridge designs of Rocky Gibbs. Other than this book, only tidbits of information are available. Gibbs had developed his interest in handloading while a member of the Richmond, California, Rod and Gun Club. His competitive nature led to an intense desire to produce a cartridge that was bigger, better, faster and more complete than any other. He was severely criticized for his cartridge case design. Nearly everyone complained about the minimum length of the case necks. Gibbs was also accused of infl ating the Gibbs cartridge velocities. He never gave in or broke down in the face of these ongoing controversies. He was willing to risk his reputation to prove he had maximized the available space in a .30-06 case. Whether he accomplished his goal of pro-ducing the fi nest cartridge available is up to each handloader to decide. When it comes to velocity, “a Gibbs chambered rifl e with a standard barrel makes a magnum with a short barrel just another rifl e.”

Firearms Pressure Factors - CD ROMThis book is a comprehensive examination of a variety of factors – primer, case, shape and weight of the bullet, seating depth, powder burning rate, chamber dimensions and the condition of the barrel – that are investigated in an in-depth study of the velocity and pressure curves.
