Well, i bit the bullet and I am getting a 1969 model. Great oil finished wood and blue is like 98%. To my door for $450.00.
I have a 39D, which is a Mountie with a pistol grip stock. Somewhat rare rifle. It functions great, but I have only plinked with it. I plan on seeing what accuracy I can squeeze out of it very soon. I picked up a brass Skinner peep for it.
My favorite .22 is my Anschutz 54 sporter, but I wanted to mess with the Marlins a little. Figure I can ALWAYS get my money back if i decide to move them. The Anschutz has a pemanent home. I bought a 10/22 deluxe back in the late 70's brand new. That is a nice rifle too, but just doesn't get much use.
