I have a chance to pick up a great looking Marlin MR-7 in 30.06 for $500.

Looks 98%, missing box, paperwork and such. Great looking wood/metal, seems to have been shot very little.

I'm not familiar with them though. Does anyone have one? Background info on them? General advice?

Thanks,

Waaaaay tooooo much!!!

They are selling leftover new(NIB) ones here for $369------dont buy it unless they come down to $250--$275.

Agreed. No more than $300 unless you REALLY LOVE the gun. But if you want a gun in the $300 price range, go for a Savage or a Weatherby Vanguard (Howa 1500) instead. They are much more respactable uses of the money. IIRC, the Marlin was a Flop much like every other bolt action centerfire Marlin produced. Marlin no longer makes the gun either. That in and ov itself should tell you somehing.

Thanks guys!

It has beautiful wood on it, but not that beautiful.

Thanks again.
