Geez,

How can you love a green-colored laminated stock, with stainless steel metal. Could anything be uglier and less classic looking? It looks like it was made by inmates in a prison shop. :-)

I like the stock, its like the same kind they put on my 917vs.
I think that the stainless and laminate really go together.

everyone has their own opinion. :-)

I like the looks of stainless and walnut, but laminate or synthetic are more practical in an all weather gun.

I don't know. I kinda like the looks of MY 336 XLR.

:grin:

Ahhh, I just like the laminated stock... But I think it is grey, not green.

Now if I was going hunting in extreme conditions, the stainless would be nice as well.

Just FYI, I talked to Marlin's Parts Dept. this morning, and those laminated stocks are not available for order - yet...

Once they finish the initial production run of the XLR rifles, they will probably have the laminated sets as a replacement part.

Maybe...

I'll check back in 6 months or so, and not hold my breath! :wink:

Is the 1895 XLR available yet?

boy Howdy, I'm with those that think the new marlin is a winner. I love the laminated stock and stainless concept more than any of the recent rifle introductions from anyone. My bet is it makes the introduction of the 450 a few years ago look anemic! I hope it works out and I get one of the laminate stocks in my gun safe soon. realidahorock

The 1895 XLRs should be out in early April. I've got one on order to match my 336. :grin:

That long barrel sure makes me wonder if I shouldn't grab 336XLR to make a lever action silhouette rifle out of...

I got to handle a 336 XLR a couple of weeks ago and they are real nice. I would like some laminated gray stocks like that on my GS. I hope they make the laminated gray available in a staight stock. We will see...

I'm a blue man

and i think that laminated stock would look better wrapping around blue metal.
