444 Marlin Introduced in 1965 with the .444 Marlin cartridge, the Model 444 was the most powerful lever action of its day. It originally had a 24-inch barrel, straight-grip Monte Carlo stock and double barrel band, but by 1976 those features had been changed to what we see today in what Marlin is calling the Model 1895–.444 Marlin: 22-inch barrel, pistol-grip stock and steel fore-end cap. The current version retains the maligned but easily ignored crossbolt safety that was inflicted on the rifle in 1988.
The most significant change, the one that caused the stop-and-start reintroduction, involved the Ballard rifling. Designers decided to change it to a 1:20 twist to improve accuracy with current loads.
A big bore favorite that combines the power of the big 444 Marlin cartridge which generates nearly 1 1/2 tons of muzzle energy. The 444 is a real joy to handle no matter what the conditions. The model 444 has awesome knockdown power. The action is as smooth as you’ve experienced, and features a 22″ barrel with Ballard rifling.

I’ve used straight-grip centerfire lever actions all my life, but I found I really like the pistol-grip style, and the .444’s grip is nicely hand-filling—as is the fore-end. Both are of American black walnut and feature point checkering with a diamond in the center of the pattern.

444 Marlin
When the straight-wall .444 Marlin round made its debut, it offered a huge advantage over the .45-70 Gov’t due to its much higher pressure ceiling. And according to William S. Brophy’s book Marlin Firearms, the firm made a big deal out of this power in the announcement for rifle and round:
“The mighty Marlin has a higher Knock-Out value than even the .338 Winchester Magnum at ranges beyond 100 yards! At 150 yards, its K-O score dwarfs even the .300 H&H and the .30-06.”
