The Marlin Model 1895G Guide Gun is a compact and powerful lever-action rifle designed specifically for demanding big-game hunting environments. Chambered in the venerable .45-70 Government cartridge, it delivers formidable stopping power in a lightweight, fast-handling package weighing approximately seven pounds.

Its straight-grip American black walnut stock further contributes to its natural pointability, allowing hunters and guides to bring the rifle on target rapidly in dense brush or rugged terrain.

Built with practicality and durability in mind, the 1895G features a side-ejection lever-action design and a solid-top receiver drilled and tapped for optics, providing flexibility for both traditional and scoped setups. The richly blued steel finish, protected by Marlin’s Mar-Shield treatment, balances classic aesthetics with resistance to harsh field conditions. Iron sights include a ramped front sight with a brass bead and a Wide-Scan hood, paired with an adjustable folding semi-buckhorn rear, offering a clear and versatile sight picture. Compact, hard-hitting, and reliable, the Marlin 1895G Guide Gun has earned its reputation as a preferred rifle among professional guides and experienced hunters who require immediate stopping power in a dependable, maneuverable platform.
