Holy chit man, $2700?
Crazy high.
I see the Guide(brown lam) and Scout(grey/black lam) models are in the $1400-1500 range on gunbroker.

In my Marlin 'heavy' years....
I had an Outfitter 444-P (ported)...sold.........1999 mfg date...blue/walnut
Marlin Guide Gun in 450.....another 1999 mfg date.....blue/walnut.......sold
Then the holy grail......Marlin Guide gun.....walnut/SS 45-70....2000 mfg..SIL in AZ ended up with this...helluva gun
Take a peek at these Just Right carbines....run on Glock mags....10mm be helluva tractor gun
