Pictured is my 1895G Guide Gun that I picked up last Friday. Shot it on Saturday. This is the first Remington made Marlin that I've shot. The fit and finish on mine is as good as on my older 444P Outfitter. The recoil is similar as well.
I know that the newer Remington made guns have spotty quality control and have seen some that have absolutely terrible wood to metal fit and almost flat looking metal finishes but mine has a nice deep blue satin metal finish (not high polish) nice figure to the wood and the wood fits well.
I think that you just have to inspect each rifle to see if it up to standard. This rifle is a keeper.
We were shooting at steel pigs with open sights at 100 yards and I hit 8 out of 10, missed 1 and 9, shooting .405gr LRN.
with my top eject Winchester XTR Big Bore .375 (which recoils substantially more than the Guide Gun)
