Hello Guys
I already own a very common 20" barrel Marlin 336 in 30-30.
How hard is to find a 24" barrel (or even longer) Marlin lever rifle in the same caliber??
My understading is that they made some, but I never saw one yet at gun shops and shows here in WA. Are they very rare in general??
If I find one (I do not care if the barrel is octagonal or round, the year of manufacturing or the exact model) what is a fair price for a good specimen??
It commands a premium over the shorter barrel versions??
Around my area, a 20" barrel model 336 or a model 30 in good conditions goes for $200-275, a bit more if is in pristine shape.
What about a Winchester with a 24" (or longer) barrel in 30-30???
Easier to find?? Average prices for a good one??
I personally prefer Marlin because the side ejection port (easier to scope) and because their action is overall stronger.
Does some small manufacturer still produce a 30-30 lever with a long barrel?? All the new Marlins, Winchesters and Mossbergs, as all of you know, are available only with the short 20".
Thanks for the info!!!
Regards
