I bought a 30AS in 1975-76 from J.C. Penny, package deal included a Marlin 4X scope and mount, added a box of shells a cleaning kit and a soft case which lightened this then teenagers wallet by a grand total of $125. It turned out to be very accurate, I used it to shoot crows and buzzards more than once, besides being my whitetail gun. My son has been the new owner for several years now, with no complaints.
