Marlin Firearms 444 Marlin

The long-awaited return of the 444 Marlin is finally here and more reliable than ever before. This hard-hitting big-bore rifle will shoot a lighter bullet, faster, with a flatter trajectory, more energy (inside 200 yards) and with less recoil than a 45-70 Govt. The 444 Marlin is perfect for medium-sized, thin-skinned game like whitetail deer all the way up to the big brutes like moose and elk. A big bore favorite that combines the power of the big 444 Marlin cartridge which generates nearly 1.5 tons of muzzle energy. The 444 is a real joy to handle no matter what the conditions. The model 444P has awesome knockdown power. The action is as smooth as you've experienced, and features a ported 18 1/2" barrel. It's made with six machined and heat treated steel forgings for greater strength.
