Mine was JM Marlin 3030. Christmas gift. Sights were mounted crooked on the barrel. And you had to hold the.lever tight to fire it or it would pop open. I can't believe my dad didn't look it over better. I had to spend half what it cost to be able to use it. I never killed a deer with it. My dad and brother did. I bought a 700 BDL when I got my first job.
