Well I traded the Marlin off and got the 700. They even had them on sale today. 599, I had them put a BlackHawk rail for a mount and Blackhawk high rings. The only scope I had to put on was a B/L 3200 3x9 x 50mm firefly. Eventually I will get a more fitting scope.
As for the Marlin, I loved it but it was PIA to shoot. It wasn't bad at 50, but beyond that it patterned.
