Walmart cleared them out, blued with solid walnut stocks for $299 plus tax, I paid $312 and change with tax at the Evergreen store. Then there's a $50 rebate so I'll get $50 back bringing the final price to $263. Can tell you how pleased I am!!!! Now off to Ark for a scope.

Oh, they are clearing out the Ruger American's as well at $199 for a .243, 308 or .223 but I couldn't find a caliber I wanted, although the Evergreen store had a .243 in stock.

Did you put a scope on it? If so, what did you go with?

Very nice. ...none of the Wallys on this side of this metropolis carry firearms anymore. I didn't think any of 'em near the Denver sewer were selling firearms.

It has a picatany mount but no scope yet. I'm bouncing around a "scout" style scope.

For the old timers here, I bought the Marlin from Capt Prozak. Still miss Kevin.

Parker store sells long rifles & shotguns.

No more scary black AR's though. Oh no, they are evil.

You know, the last time someone posted up an awesome gun sale on here, I went straight over and picked one up (Ruger 10/22). Perhaps this thread should be in the Buyer Intel section.

I got one of the 243 Ruger americans today. Had to go to a few wallys to find one. It is pretty nice for what it is. I wanted a 308 but some one came and cleaned out all the wallys up here sales man said a guy came in and bought all the rifles they had on clearance. The wallys where i found one, the sales man said he just had a guy come in and buy six of the rugers, they only had 2 of the 243's left.

Bet that guy will be selling them at the next Tanner show. Right next to the piles of .22lr bricks.

That's a great score. Congrats. I've got a couple of the early ones...45-70 and .450. If you think the 45-70 thumps you should try the .450.

I was. Heard you were coming, so I hid. [Coffee]

I've read quite a few complaints about the hit or miss quality of modern Marlin lever guns, but at that price it would certainly be worth the risk.

WOW! Used to have one of these. Paid $600 and regretted selling it.

What a deal. Anyone know if there are anymore in stock anywhere?

I doubt there are any left as this was posted on the Marlin board and I doubt at that price they would last more than a day, however you never know!

Whoever told you about that deal deserves to put a box or two of ammo through it, don't you think? :D

Whoever didn't post that deal in "buyer intel" deserves to be banned from the forum... [beer]
