I know that the older Marlins are the best (especially ones with the JM stamp on the barrel), but is there any reason not to get a new one?
The 336ss is going for 600-650, which is a little pricey but I like it since it's nice and shiny.
Somebody talk me out of / into it.  |
Nice looking set up there. I for one won't talk you out of it except maybe better deals out there. I have seen 336ss's at Basspro and Cabelas in the same price range, minus the scope and rings, with the nice checkering in the pistol grip and fore-end areas. The 336 I have I inherited from my Dad. Made in the mid 60's with the JM stamped barrel. I have dropped more deer with it than all my other deer rifles combined. You can't hardly beat it when you are hunting down and dirty in the thick brush.
