Have a chance to get this, but I want to know what y'all think it's worth. If I get it I will be posting it up for sale, so just let me know what I could expect from it. Thanks!
Just my .02, Cherokee Gun sells the Bushmaster Patrolman for 649.99 and I believe there's still a $50 mail in rebate, and then just buy the magpul. That's what I did and I've got 725 in a new magpul bushmaster.
Within the last year I've bought a remington 700 sps Varmint in 308, a remington r1 enhanced 1911, and a bushmaster m4a3. My 700 was shooting groups touching at 100 yards right out of the box with match grade hornady. I understand it may not be as accurate as the Weatherby mark v, but look at...
I've got a Remington R1 Enhanced that I love. It's got 500 rounds through it and I haven't had a problem with it. My neighbor has an xds 45 and shot it and was surprised with how much smoother it was and was saying he'd love to get one. I'd definitely reccomend it.

Save yourself the time and just put a Timney in it if you can, I waited 2 months on a rebate for my 700, so I for sure wasn't going to wait that long on my rifle.
They just have to do with different options and features, here's a website that gives you a list and what they mean... http://www.marlinowners.com/forum/marlin-years-manufacture/31126-list-336-model-differences.html
JM stamped means it was produced before Remington bought Marlin. Haven't had a chance to shoot or really even handle one that isn't, but I hear they're just lower quality. The cross bolt safety isn't as desirable because with a lever action the hammer is your safety, like a revolver, so most...
My first gun was a 243, my girlfriend has a savage axis in 243. It's a really good gun, and I'd imagine he'd be okay with the recoil, it has a pretty soft recoil pad.
