From a Twitter post by Tom Gresham of Gun Talk fame:
"On GTR, Ruger CEO Chris Killoy just announced the first Marlin will be available mid to late December, and will probably be a stainless 1895, big loop, in .45-70. :)"
A follow-up tweet:
"He said handgun caliber models would be sometime next year. I would expect .357 Mag and .44 Mag. Those in the 1894 Model. What I really would like is a takedown version. ;)"
