That's an 800.00 + rifle any day of the week nowadays.
That's amazing. I picked up my pre-owned, 80's vintage M336/.30-30 in pristine condition, for $150 back in the eartly 90's. It's not for sale. I did handle one of the new Ruger/Marlins at the Harrisburg show, $1300, and they are worth the price. Beautiful wood and finish. Anyone that's chased whitetails here in the east, (Maine to Virginia), knows that there's nothing like a nice lever gun when it comes to all day carry. Same for the M94 Winchester, ( I have one of each). The .30-30 is actually ideal for deer on the ground . And the M94/M336 just fit so well in hand. It's only money.
