It's in great shape, handles well, shoots fine and at $269, well I couldn't resist - now it's mine. The rifle had a Weaver base already, so I just popped the little 2.5x Leupold on top and sighted in with handloaded 170 gr Remingtons. What a nice little rifle. I even like the kind-of-silly pressed in buck... Am hoping this little rifle will tag along on at least a couple of hunts with me this fall. It sure carries nice and shoots well. Guy

It is a sweet handling little rifle even with the 4X I have mounted. I hope you enjoy your days afield carrying that little gem.....At least you won't come home tired.....It only weighs about 7 pounds or so all up! Well, maybe a little more....I see yours is the rifle.....mine is a carbine. Last edited by Sykotik; 08/07/12. Don't let the name fool Ya!

(nice snag) How many shells does the magazine hold? Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

I started out Deer hunting with a lever gun, went full circle, and fifty years later I'm back to a lever. There's just something "Right" about Deer hunting with a lever action. Enjoy

I've got a Model 30AS price point special which I think was made for the discount stores like Wal-Mart, etc; (Birch(?) wood with no checkering, cheaper looking sights than a 336). Put a 1-4x 20mm Leupold on it (was factory drilled & tapped) and I love it. IIRC according to the serial number mine dates to about 1991.
