I was just about to purchase a Marlin 60SB (stainless) when I have been reading more about the Marlin 39 and I think I have been sold !! However the price seems to be over double and a lot of places do not have it in stock. I am Considering a new or used one. So far locally I can get a used (99%) Golden 39AS for $395; still a little steep it seems? Am I better off looking for a used 39A (no cross bolt safety) ? If so what can I expect to pay for a like new 39A used ? Any opinions or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Basically I am looking for a good 22 rifle for hunting, target and plinking.
