I had a honey trade deal that netted me $350 free and clear for a trade in at a large gun store. With 43 guns on the wall in my toy room I wanted something useful and that I had not had before. I looked uninterested at the semis, either had it, got it, or didn't want it. And $350 was my max. Same with the wheel guns. Looked at the milsurps, picked up a couple of Aks but have already sent a couple down the line plus I've got a Colt SP2 so the assault toys are covered. I have four 12 gauges, no interest there, thought about ammo but I reload and they didn't sell components, got all the milsurps I will ever shoot plus they didn't have anything that I didn't, finally ended up with a beautiful Marlin 336 in 30-30 with a very nice scope on it. And I've never had a Marlin, do however have a Winchester. Took it out and tried it with 150g sps pushed by 27g of 4895 and it is accurate, easy to shoot and no recoil. Can't wait till deer season.
