I�d love to get a nice older Marlin but that�s just too rich for me.


I have a 1960 Mountie in excellent condition. No way no how would I sell it for only $735. Yes I'm biased as I have had it for a long time, but it's like a pre-64 action. If you don't run one then you don't know what you're missing!


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
