Probably best thing to happen to Marlin.
If someone would take Remington, get rid of the schit handguns, the schit rifles and make the 700, a decent couple rimfires, the 1100, 870 & 11-87 and do them right finally, they could probably be GTG.
What about Bubba and his $279 price point?

Remington got one of the best of the low priced rifles when they acquired Marlin. The X7 series was certainly vastly better than Remington's own attempt at a budget rifle, the lamentable 710 / 770. The could have just kept selling them as Marlins, but Remington decided to sell them as Remington 783s, after adding the large dose of ugly Remington seemed to think a budget gun required.
