Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Marlin Model 55 Goose Gun is a distinctive bolt-action shotgun designed specifically for long-range waterfowl hunting. Chambered in 12 gauge and featuring an impressive 36-inch barrel, this single-shot firearm was built for reaching out across expansive fields or open marshes where geese are commonly found. Its bolt-action design, while unconventional for shotguns, offers excellent reliability and control, and the fixed full choke delivers tight shot patterns ideal for long-distance targets. The Goose Gun’s extended barrel and overall length—often pushing 56 inches—also help reduce recoil and increase muzzle velocity, making it a formidable tool for serious goose hunters.

Introduced in the late 1950s and produced into the early 1980s, the Marlin Model 55 Goose Gun was part of a family of Model 55 variants, including slug and duck hunting versions. Its robust steel construction and hardwood stock made it both durable and practical for rugged outdoor use. Though not as popular in modern waterfowling circles due to the rise of semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns, the Model 55 Goose Gun remains a nostalgic favorite among collectors and traditional hunters. Its unique combination of simplicity, precision, and old-school charm has earned it a respected place in American shotgun history.
