What can I say... I went to the gun shop and found a poor lonely Marlin 336 sitting on the shelf. Amazing, because that was the exact model I've been considering, in 30-30 (for my first deer rifle and general fun). It looked a bit dinged up on the outside but the internals looked good. Vintage 1979 according to armscollector.com.
Unfortunately, I can't post pics or a range report because I don't have a digital camera (I'll try to borrow one) and the range is closed right now.
I think I made out pretty well. I got the used rifle which had a Tasco Pronghorn 3-9 scope, and a sling, boresnake and 40 rounds 30-30 for $280 OTD. I know nothing about optics, I'm assuming this is an El Cheapo scope?
Anyways, I'm happy as can be, even though I'm rapidly becoming a poor man! Nobody told me this was gonna be so damn expensive! Next on my list is a MBR.
