Guys, help me out here. I was down at my local GS helping my buddy buy a scope for his AR. The store is nicely appointed; somewhere between a mom and pop store and Cabelas. Any hoot, they have five Marlin 45-70's for sale on consignment. The rifles are advertised as "New-Old Stock" and it was explained to me that they all came from the collection of some old timer who just passed. His relatives placed them into consignment. They all have that half octogonal barrel, and the barrels seem to be in excess of 20 inches. They're all "used", but all appear new. Very clean shape. Little to no use. They're all priced at $525.
Give me the skinny on these. Should I pick one up? I really don't have a purpose for one, other than maybe hunting one day years from now, or defensive purposes I guess.
Thanks.
