A venture capital group bought them around then. Started cutting corners.
sold to Remington (Remington is owned by Freedom Group) in 08, started to see QC issues more than before, then moved the factory in 11 and it turned in to a shit show.
I've killed more deer with marlin 30-30 than any other rifle combined. The one I use is 30ish years old. No idea if that makes it better or worse than other years. But 100ish yards and closer I freaking love it. Simple, accurate, reliable
My current go-to is a browning x-bolt medallion in 30-06 but that marlin will always be what I spent most of my first 10 years or so using

How dare you.
i think the most beautiful rifle in the world is the Schmidt-Rubin K31, so WTF do I know?
I have one that looks real close to that but I'm betting it isn't the same. It was a gift. Not sure what it is. Have to checki think the most beautiful rifle in the world is the Schmidt-Rubin K31, so WTF do I know?
watched that for about a minute
To be fair, I do get some of the hate the BLR gets from the traditional lever gun crowd. Personally I think they should have just put a full lug under the barrel to give them the traditional look, but I'm also just an unfrozen caveman.i think the most beautiful rifle in the world is the Schmidt-Rubin K31, so WTF do I know?
K31, eh? That's an interesting choice.
John Moses Browning (PBUH) does not approve of this post.
bought one on a whim for $89, took it out to the 500 yard range, put up a 10" gong, and loaded 5 rounds in the magazine (didn't know it held 6), and set the elevation on the rear sight
1st shot was low right, adjusted elevation one notch and applied Kentucky windage. 2nd shot was a little right, adjust POA.
Ding.

it instantly became the most beautiful rifle in the world. Then I dissembled and cleaned it up, and the genius of the Swiss became undeniable. The trigger is a work of elegant perfection. The bolt is a marvel of precision and reliability. The freaking ammo is a story unto itself. And I even had a couple with the original owner's info under the butt-plate. Just cool in every way.
And when you REALLY wanna take a Ninja out you can go Rifleman on em.Plus if you want to go John Wayne on a mother fucker and spin cock it you can.
