Recently acquired a second Marlin to keep the Marlin 30/30 company. Bought a JM in .38/357 caliber. Be glad to post pics if someone can guide me thru the process. Anyway, bought it, shot it with the attached scope ( Bushnell 3x9 Sportview, ok at 3 to 7 power, gets a little fuzzy at 9 ) and also with the buckhorns ( has see thru scope mounts ) . Surprisingly, not much difference between the two, maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inch groups at 50 yards.. Maybe at 100 yards it would be more pronounced. Very nice condition.... except for the SS# some idiot engraved on the barrel a few inches toward the front sight from the JM logo for ID purposes... nope, not kidding. But, the price was right and at first glance one has to look at it to make sure it isn't it isn't dirt or light surface rust.
Any lever enthusiasts out there ?
