Ruger Introduces the Marlin Trapper Model 1894 in 10mm Auto

I personally have no interest in it, but I applaud them for bringing out a companion rifle for the 10 mm hunters. When I was a hunting man, .44 Magnum Smith and Wesson and a .44 Magnum Winchester 94 were a great combination. Even though I never did find the 'perfect' load that worked in both identically, having rifle loads and handgun loads that could cross over was never a serious burden.

My Marlin 1894 "Classic" (see pic above) 44 mag is a nice companion rifle for either my 329PD or Anaconda.
 
I'm in, but only if it will also work with .40.

Thankfully I have a plethora of pistols in .40.

No .

Wayne first used the Big Loop for spinning in Stagecoach ( 1939 ) .

It was designed by his friend and frequent collaborator Yakama Knutt .

Rifleman series began in 1958 . Conners's rifle(s) were modified by James Stembridge . Two different Loops were used over the course of the series , in two different Winchesters . Plus a Spanish made El Tigre near clone as " stunt gun " , for when it was thrown , used as impact weapon , and for riding in saddle scabbord .

***********

Of note : To spin a M92 with 20in bbl , takes a Big Guy to have long enough arms , that the rifle doesn't smack them in the head .

Wayne ( 6'4") and Conners ( 6'6") were big enough .

IIRC the only up to this point ammo I've shot in 45-70 in frontier. Shot it in both the sbl and cb. Neither kicked like a mule. I haven't handloaded for it yet. 10mm lever looks sweet, but so far I'll stop at 44mag on the lower end. If i didn't have a 44mag then I'd consider 1. Great for those who already have a 10 in a handgun and want to keep the same cartridge in a rifle.

Shooting "Nuclear" 350 gr. & 405 gr. Buffalo Bore 45/70 max-power loads out of a 7.5 lb. Marlin 1895 "thumps you" pretty good.

if you spin to the inside, then ya, you need long arms.
 
if 1 were too be made in a .475 bore the 480ruger would be awesome! although there are a few 500mags out there the price is way up there. maybe 1 day i'll get 1 and a revolver to match
 
Wonder what the twist-rate is in the new rifle? I would only shoot my own hot loads, so I know I could maximize the power, but if the twist is off, I know it can de-stabilize those bullets.

Weight is a handy 6.3 pounds, while the overall length is 33.25 inches. The 1:16″RH twist barrel should help wring out a bit more velocity from the 10mm Auto round.

I'd take that sucker elk hunting in my state, since big game only requires 500 foot-pounds at the muzzle. That is awesome. Of course, I would keep my shots close, so...COOL!

This might be my next purchase!

Depending on weights and velocities you should be good out to 100 yards with a 16"
 
Per barrel inch it won't average a +20fps over the 5 or 6". The slowing down is a misconception as velocities slow per inch, but still gains velocity. The issue being not enough pressure per powder charge to maintain X amount. Best guess is +10fps from 5" to 16" with that cartridge, so don't get hopes up on a +20 the full length past 6".
