My father had a Marlin 12ga bolt that my mother bought for him as an anniversary present one year. She got it from Sears. After he stopped hunting, he "loaned" it to one of my uncles, on the condition that he give it back if I decided I wanted it. I did, and have been trying to get it back from him since 1984! (pretty much given up on ever seeing it again).
My LGS gets them in every once in awhile, usually around $150 in good shape. May have to pick one up one day, just for old time's sake, and see if I can make it look half as nice as the one posted early in this thread by DIY guy.
