RAM, if you haven't seen some of the issues with the various marlin rifles, could only mean you have little to no experience actually hunting with them in a harsh environment.
I'm curious, other than being a fkn city boy mouth piece, what makes you some sort of authority on really any rifle??
Name your issues Piss Flaps and lets discuss them. Don't throw out a meaningless blanket of nothing. You keep trying to push words I never said into my mouth, while denying those out of yours. Grow up, try to be a man, and lets have a discussion. I would LOVE to start with the first two issues from the panty waist poser who left once his ignorance was exposed.
