Don't get me wrong, I agree a microgroove can definately work OB. As a said, I have a very accurate microgroove JM 336... that's also been RTV bedded (which is another story which you know about OB ). But in my experience, Ruger barrels just wanna shoot, no matter the pill; a relatively painless exercise. ik ik - lots of annecdotes here but annecdotes are fun!

Too much pressure for this action.

Unlikely due to the magazine feed and interlock mechanism which relies on there being an adequate rim on the cartridge.
Also I wouldn't go in for effusive praise of Ruger products. My son bought a 77/44 which shoots 2 to 3 MOA scoped.
Perfectly adequate for a 150 meter medium to larger game rifle but nothing to brag about.

Ruger Announces Their First Marlin Rifle Release
__
MAYODAN, NC., Oct. 06, 2021.
Christopher J. Killoy, Ruger CEO, said the first Marlin rifle to be delivered in December 2021 from their Mayodan, NC plant will be the Marlin model 1895SBL in 45-70.
Killroy indicated that the company will release this model first and will be followed up by some 336 models and the popular model 444 as well. These centerfire rifles will then be followed up by some model 1894's in 357 and 44 magnum.
He also indicated that the Marlin famous Microgroove and Ballard rifling have been replaced with their method of rifling and that initial results are offering extremely good accuracy that they are use to producing from their other centerfire rifles in the Ruger line.
The model choice for first release is a proven best seller from past Marlin releases and is anticipated to sell very well.
The company emphasized that although initial availability will be light they expect to ramp up quickly."
