Lots of shooters feel that the prices will fall once the Ruger Marlins hit the market in greater numbers and models. I read another thread where a guy picked up a new Ruger 1895 and paid +/'- $1050 through his local shop. Dealer cost was about $100 less than that.

As long as the Ruger made Marlins are in the 4 digit price range the JMs will hold their value. There will not be anymore JMs. This is just an old man's thoughts on this. That may also be wrong as I'm still a walnut and blue guy in most cases.
Have a great day.

Was at a gun show yesterday Least expensive beat to heck up marlin variant was around $750 (I’m talking glen fields and revaluation models) any decent 336 was $900 and up Never thought I would see the day I walk out of a gun show with a mint 700 classic 338 win mag that I paid less than what they are asking for a marlin lever 30-30

Things certainly are crazy IMO. glad I'm not looking for one. crazy price
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

bbassi,
I was going to start a separate thread, but will just follow you up. Today, I bought a 336 exactly like the one in your link, in just as good condition and all original. Never been scoped. Only detraction is it was made in 85/86 and has the safety.
I bought it from a guy I've known and hunted with 20 years. He bought it new from Lew Horton distributors when he was moving from Boston to Vermont. He bought a box of Win.170gr. Silvertips and from that box fired this rifle six times. It's been in the safe unused since then. With the rifle today, I got that box of ammo with the six empties.
I would have thought I was crazy before this to pay $600.00 for a Marlin 336, but was thrilled to buy it for that price in this condition.

I hate to tell the people that believe JM Marlin's are prices are going to drop.....its never going to happen price will stay the same you might find a deal like any other firearm but the prices you see today will be the same or higher....I've dealt in firearms for to many years the spike that we have seen in the past year plus has been unlike any I've ever seen and hopefully it level off....only problem is it will level off in a Depression....

I read where we are looking at 10% inflation.
I prefer classic.

I read where we are looking at 10% inflation. My public school math must be failing me because everything I look at has gone up way more than the 7.5% (or even 10%) that the news outlets are saying we are having.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I think the market is real slow now. I have been trying to sell a 336SC for some time now. I think part of the issue is that ammo is so hard to find. Guys don't want to buy a new gun/caliber and not have ammo for it. What caliber and how much?
