In celebration of providing firearms to its customers since 1870, Marlin has produced a 150-year anniversary edition of two of its iconic rifles. The first is, of course, a large-bore lever action.
This limited edition lever gun is only available in .444 Marlin, with beautiful C grade walnut stocks. The buttstock has a curved pistol grip, with classic checkering on the grip and forend to provide stability to the hold the hard-hitting 444 in case anyone ever wants to shoot the beautiful rifle.
The receiver and bolt are both decorated with wonderful engraving, and the receiver has contrasting gold inlay. The 24” half-octagon barrel has a classic look and is adorned with a Skinner ladder sight. All the metal is finished in a deep, deep gorgeous bluing.
The 24” barrel should give increased velocities to the heavy 444 slugs. The 444 Marlin has a six-round tubular magazine reaching the length of the barrel.
The anniversary gun is only available through 2020, with an MSRP of $1,899.
The other 150-year tribute gun is the venerable Model 60, a. 22 LR semi-auto. This happens to be the same model as my first rifle decades ago and it’s still popular today.
The Model 60 has a 150-year medallion embedded in its standard grade walnut stock and has a stainless finish on the receiver and barrel. The anniversary Model 60 has an MSRP 0f $399, and is available now, but only through this year.

How many of the 150th .444 anniv. model were made?
how many 150th anniversary marlin 444 were made?
I’m an also looking for how many 150 year 444 anniversary models will be manufactured.
I read in one forum 1500. Which appears very low. I’m trying to find another source to confirm.
I would like to purchase the 150 anniversary 444 Marlin! Where can I purchase it? Also the Ammo. Thanks Jim
I would like to enter my name in the 150 Anniversary give away thank You
I have the 125th anniversary edition marlin 60 and I’ve been trying to get the 150th edition. It’s been difficult, but I think I found a way (I hope) after jumping through countless loops. I think the gun looks great! Can’t wait to get it.
Please get rid of that hole in the side that is called a safety. I know owners that have that model who say they never use it when hunting. Why produce a rifle for your years of business that is not correct to the original design?
They should have made the lever gun available in 45-70 as well.
Agreed
While the classics will always have a place in our hearts, no doubt.
We want to see the Model 60, Rem 870 brought into the 21st century with picatinny rails that actually function as a normal modern upgrade.
I have a 44 M that I am restoring at the moment. It has the octogone barrel but the riffling are damaged a bit , It will be a talking piece as it was my father’s favorite gun .Parts are not easy to be found .
