I just picked one up Saturday. Unfired, made in 1980. Looks like ^^^^that one, but without the Lyman. I owned a Marlin in .44 mag a few years ago, and I loved that rifle. I sold it with the intention of getting a .357, and finally got around to doing so.
Sheffieldshootr, did you have to get a taller front sight with the Lyman, or is the stock sight tall enough?
