it's a curious life indeed, I managed to snag a similar rifle in .44 mag
ran an excavator from 7:30 a.m. till 3:30 p.m. today, had a snack and a nap, while nappin I heard this swap shop on the TV that my sis was watching and the guy said he had the rifle.
woke me right up it did. Same as the OP's minus 1 .4 (grin)
few stock scratches, no checkering, no cross bolt safety. Was going to try and get him down to $600 but he was an old timer in not too great a digs, so I didn't even quibble, just gave him the seven bills he wanted and was on my way.
would have preferred the trapper version (forget what Marlin calls theirs) as have one in Win. mode pre safety that looks like it just rolled outa the factory.
I like old rifles and old men and women.
