How We Tested the Best RiflesĪs I alluded to above, Outdoor Life’s gun testing protocol is unlike any other in the outdoor industry. We were so smitten with the Marlin 336 Classic that it was the unanimous selection as this year’s Editor’s Choice. 45/70-the Marlin 336 Classic cements the iconic brand’s comeback. In conjunction with the Marlin 1895 SBL we tested and the Marlin 1895 Trapper we’ve been using-both in. The new Marlin 336 Classic we evaluated is the latest in a string of fabulous lever actions that have been rolling off the production line at Ruger’s facility in Mayodan, North Carolina. Scott EinsmannĪnother takeaway from the gun test is that Marlin’s resurrection by Ruger can now be deemed a complete and legitimate success. The new Marlin 336 Classic earned the 2023 Editor’s Choice award. In 2023, bargain-minded shooters have some good options to pick from. We also gave high marks to the CVA Cascade XT for the value it represents. The Stevens 334 Walnut and Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical both distinguished themselves in that light and earned this year’s Great Buy awards. One dominant theme among the best rifles of 2023 is budget guns that punch above their weight class. (The bursting of the post-Covid bubble accounted for the unusually large number of introductions in 2022.) But it still included an interesting variety of long-guns spanning a spectrum of price points and uses. This year’s rifle field was smaller than last year’s.
