Stopped in at a local gun shop the other day that I hadn't been to before. Lo and behold, he isn't inside the Columbus corporation limit, so I don't have to pay the stupid tax and register with columbus just to get a friggin plinker/varmint gun. He also had at least 50 .22 rifles, most of them used. I'm really wanting a project gun now.
The two that caught my eye the most were an Ithaca lever action (sorry, but the tags were handwritten and I couldn't make out a model number) it was blued, with either walnut, or at least nice dark wood, and really appeared to be in new condition.
Asking $260. I guess its hard to know without a model number but can anyone give me any info on this?
Also had a marlin .22lr lever action, that was fairly scuffed up and he was asking $199. It was not a cowboy, or a 39A (had a couple of those and I was drooling, but price was a little out of my range). Appeared to say Marlin 50 on the tag.
So I'd appreciate if you could tell me anything about either of these rifles.
Or suggest a particular model to look for. I'm interested in an old bolt or lever gun for a possible refinishing project. Would like it to end up accurate out to 75 yards or more.
Thanks
