Neither of the Cabelas rifles are available. Your best bet is to watch the action sites like gunbroker. There's a shooter on there now for a couple hundred less than a mint model, but still not cheap. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=461399580

Before commiting to 38-55 check ammo price and availability. It is harder and harder to find. On Marlin Owners forum I read that they are paying $80 per box of 20 cartridges for 38-55 these days. Ouch.

If you aren't set on the octagon barrel, you can pick up a 30-30 and have it re-bored to 38-55 for less money.
