Marlin is expanding a number of its lines in 2017—the big bores included. The Model 444, chambered in, predictably, the hard-hitting .444 Marlin cartridge, will return to the company's lineup.
Here are 12 new guns on display at Great American that you’ll want to check out. We’ve even put them in order by booth location, starting near the entrance to the Shooting Sports Hall in the Cameron Street lobby and working across the aisles from right to left.
Hunters looking for a gun that offers high performance with a straight-wall rifle cartridge should welcome the 444 Marlin. It functions well, provides excellent accuracy for a big-bore lever-action and accepts a scope.
