Under Ruger's stewardship the Marlin 1894 has come back with tighter tolerances and better fit than the line saw in its final Remington years, and the Trapper is the short, fast-handling variant. This one runs a 16.1-inch stainless barrel with a black synthetic-look setup and a threaded muzzle.

Chambered in 10mm Auto, it is an unusual and very practical combination: a carbine barrel wrings substantially more velocity out of 10mm than a pistol does, turning it into a legitimate short-range hog and black bear round. Paired with a 10mm sidearm it makes a tidy, ammunition-sharing pair for the truck or trail.
