Went to order a brand new Marlin Golden 39A from my local gun shop today and was told that there is at least a 9 month to ONE YEAR wait on these puppies!
Apparantly Marlin can't produce them fast enough after Winchester stopped making their lever action rimfires. Anyone else experienced an insane wait time? By the way, I'm located in Australia and was told the American market gets preference (which makes sense).
I told the dealer I'd think about it. Now the question is whether to get a Browning BL22 insead, or patiently wait for the Marlin. I'm probably going to get a bolt action in the meantime though (Anschutz 1416D HB or CZ 452 American).
