Marlin Firearms 1895 Trpr 45-70 16.5" 5-Round FDE Rifle

The Marlin Firearms 1895 Trpr 45-70 16.5" 5-Round FDE Rifle represents a modern lever-action platform purpose-built for hunters, tactical riflemen, and shooters who demand dependable performance in short-range hunting and defensive applications. Chambered in the venerable .45-70 Government cartridge, this rifle delivers stopping power and accuracy that has proven itself across generations. Its compact 16.5-inch barrel and 5-round capacity make it ideal for brush country, vehicle-based operations, and close-quarters hunting scenarios where a traditional bolt-action or semi-automatic may be impractical.

Built on Marlin's proven lever-action platform, the 1895 Trpr features a 16.5-inch barrel optimized for velocity and handling in heavy brush and tight spaces. The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) finish provides durability and a contemporary aesthetic while resisting corrosion in field conditions. At 15 lbs, the rifle balances forward mass for control and recoil management with the maneuverability required for tactical and hunting applications. The 5-round magazine capacity keeps the profile compact while providing sufficient firepower for most engagement scenarios. Modern ergonomics and Marlin's reputation for reliability ensure consistent function under pressure.

This rifle suits hunters pursuing large game in thick terrain, firearms enthusiasts building a lever-action collection, and those seeking a backup or primary rifle for property defense. Law enforcement and private security personnel value the .45-70's terminal performance and the lever-action's mechanical simplicity. The short barrel and manageable recoil make it suitable for shooters of varying experience levels, while the .45-70 cartridge's widespread availability and power ensure it remains relevant in any serious application. Aftermarket support for the 1895 platform is robust, allowing customization through optic mounts, stocks, and accessory rails.
