Sale Price: $650
Trade Value or Items Looking For: 650 or fair trade

Caliber: 44 Remington Magnum

Willing to Ship: No

Bill of Sale Required?: No

Item Description: "Marlin made guns, Winchester made money"....

This is a perfect example of manufacturing excellence in both visible quality and performance. I have not tried it with a scope or from a bench. However, at 100yds, shooting off-hand, I easily ring a 6" bullet gong, 8-9 out of ten shots fired. It is JM stamped and pre-safety. I do not load for this caliber so I am passing it on.

I will trade for a JM/pre-safety Marlin or pre-64 model 94 Winchester in 30-30 plus or minus cash either way.

This is a fine, however not a collector grade rifle in my opinion. It looks to me that the stock has been carefully re-varnished (no wood removed) and the rifle has been disassembled for deep-cleaning. The gunsmith could have taken better care with the receiver screws by grinding a screw-driver to fit them perfectly, a step not commonly done any more. It takes a sharp eye to even notice this. However, the receiver screws can be replaced for about $15. I would like to trade for something in 30-30, .243, .22, or .308. I like S&W revolvers in 686, 66 etc, with no Hillary hole as well.

I recently sent you an offer of a 66-1 for the Rifle. You replied to my other PM
