The Marlin 1895 Trapper in .45-70 Government is a compact lever-action rifle built for hunters and shooters who need serious stopping power without the length of a full-size rifle. At just 34.25 inches overall and 7.1 pounds, this short-barreled workhorse splits the difference between portability and ballistic performance—ideal for thick timber hunting, brush work, or anyone running a truck gun that actually gets used. The 16.1-inch cold hammer-forged stainless barrel delivers the accuracy and longevity you expect from modern Marlin manufacturing, while the .45-70 Govt cartridge remains one of the most versatile and powerful options for medium to large game across North America.
Stainless steel throughout—barrel, receiver, and action—keeps this Trapper running clean and corrosion-free in wet conditions. The black laminate buttstock and forend won't swell or warp with temperature swings or humidity, and sharp checkering ensures a secure grip even in gloves. Five rounds in the tubular magazine pair with an oversized lever loop that clears heavy winter gear, while the half-cock hammer and cross-bolt safety give you traditional, reliable control. Skinner Sights receiver-mounted peep and blade front sight set you up for quick target acquisition if you're hunting without a scope—or you can take advantage of the threaded 11/16-24 barrel to add a muzzle brake for recoil management and a cleaner shot.
This is a rifle that earns its "Trapper" name: compact enough to carry all day, tough enough to handle what you throw at it, and chambered in a cartridge that's earned its reputation through generations of hard use. Whether you're a .45-70 devotee or new to the caliber, the Marlin 1895 Trapper delivers proven lever-gun reliability in a form factor that actually fits in your hands, your pack, and your truck.

This rifle reliably feeds a wide range of .45-70 Govt factory ammunition and bullet types, so you're not locked into a single load type. Test your preferred factory loads to confirm point-of-impact with the installed Skinner Sights.
Yes. The barrel is threaded with an 11/16-24 pattern and ships with a factory-installed match-polished thread protector. You can swap it for a muzzle brake, suppressor adapter, or other threaded accessory. Always verify compatibility before purchase.
The Marlin 1895 Trapper comes equipped with Skinner Sights—an adjustable receiver-mounted peep and blade front sight—which are more than adequate for hunting and target work. Many lever-gun hunters prefer open sights for the speed and reliability they offer. A scope is optional depending on your shooting distance and game.
The 16.1-inch barrel keeps overall length to 34.25 inches and weight to just 7.1 pounds, making this rifle quick to shoulder and easy to carry through brush and timber. You sacrifice some velocity compared to a full-length rifle, but the .45-70 remains powerful and effective at hunting distances, and the compact form factor makes it far more practical in the field for many hunters.
