A really nice clean Marlin, add a scope and some Remington 170 gr core-lokts and you will be ready for deer season.

I picked this Spikehorn up in 2003, from Bass Pro in Ft. Lauderdale. $265 out the door. It shoots the 170 grain bullets best, giving consistent MOA at 150 yards or less. It has been a good deer and hog rifle in the heavy cover and swamps I hunt.
Scope is an elderly Redfield 20mm, 1-4X.
