So, I went to my LGS for lunch again. And, as usual, they had a lever action they just took in on trade that interested me. It was a Revelation Auto Supply Marlin 200m. They wanted $299 bucks for it, I noticed that it had a sling attachment on the ammo tube, so I figured the one in the stock wasn't original either. Finish wasn't breathtaking, so I let it sit. Anyone have any information on them, perhaps value? They also had a nice Savage 99 Takedown in 250-3000, but for $900 bucks,I figured I'd better let that one sit for a while, too:) Thanks, Steve.

I think the Western Auto rifle is priced a little high, by about $75. If it was in good shape, maybe the $299 is justified, but the store-brand guns seldom bring full price unless it was had unique features, like some they made for K-Mart.

Geez I so miss the days when even auto parts stores sold guns, with their own branding no less....

The Revelations don't command premium prices but they're Marlins through and through. As such, they make good shooters and are valued accordingly. I don't know how the market is in Iowa but, in Texas, $299 is not a bad price. I have a Revelation. It's as good as any other Marlin.
Now the Marlin store brand Glenfield Model 30 is a popular rifle in the SC configuration with a lighter barrel profile. It makes for a very handy lever rifle. I have several including one I had shortened and threaded for suppressor use with subsonics. Great little rifles!!!

A nice 250/3000 TD may be worth close to the asking. Just how nice tells the tale.
