I bought a Marlin 336CS 30/30 for $125 from the return clearence rack from Service Merchandise. It worked pretty good for me until I picked Mint Ruger M77 Tanger in 30-06 back in 1988 ish for $100. Had tasco scope on it. Scope was pure crap. The rifle on the other hand was great. I still have it. Has a VX3 on it presently. Both myself and the seller knew it was worth more than $100 but he needed the cash and it was all I could scrape together without letting any bills go unpaid.
