I'm into mine for about $1100.00, so that makes me feel better. The only gun I'm into for more is a Fulton Armory M14 build from about 10-years ago. But my M2 goes nicely with my High Standard HD Military. I'm afraid I might have to get a nice older Ruger Single Six if I get that Marlin 39. Damn this shooting bug!
