C'mon Ruger....$1200+ for the Marlin 1894s is steep, but I can sort of see it
But why is a bolt action 357 $1250?? An American is half that.
I would buy one of each flavor if they were remotely reasonable, and I know plenty of others would as well.

PS while I'm grousing, make it a 16.1" vs 18.5" barrel
