The demand for .25-20s is sufficient to keep the price of existing rifles sky high without being enough spur new production. I don't really count the Marlin because it's both expensive and not likely to give the kind of accuracy I expect. I lucked into a Savage 23 bolt action many years ago, but never expect to see another I can afford.

The current way into a .25-20 is a T/C frame and a custom carbine barrel. You could also get a .256 Mag that way. Be worth considering for those who shoot a T/C anyway.
