Ok
Went to pick up my rifle today from the CT FFL
2 issues - first, had to convince the FFL that I am allowed to pick up a rifle from CT even though I am NY resident - that was not easy..........but we got there
Second - the retailer sent the wrong rifle !!!
So never picked anything up and...
Gate fed
The Henry’s are gorgeous rifles with great reviews, but the tube feeding would have driven me crazy
So went for the gate fed Marlin in a caliber that gives me options and is reasonably priced
Ok
Finally got something
Just bought a Marlin 1894C in .357 Magnum/38 special
And NOT from Dicks
Literally just ordered, so looking forward to picking it up from the FFL at some point in the next week or so
I think I may wait till this comes back into stock
45Colt with a capacity of 10 a $510
Marlin 1894 45 Colt Lever-Action Rifle
Seems like a good price
$600 at Buds
The Dicks offer for the 336 is no longer available and back up to around $450
Buds have it for $435 or $462 for the scoped version ( plus FFL fees
Looks like Dicks had it on offer for 2 days
Cheapest Marlin in 357 Mag is around $823 from Buds..........a lot more than the 336
I realize Dicks are an issue but the saving is pretty significant unfortunately and I am not throwing away $150
Increased gun control may be on the agenda but it is wider than a dicks issue
But totally understand your point .......... but can’t get that 30-30 for anything like dicks are...
Thanks guys
I have my NY and CT PP so no issues with that
I know Dicks are dicks, but that Marlin at $349 is a great price - I am upstate in a cabin in the woods in Forestport at the moment and not back till Saturday, so that deal may have expired by then
But I agree would prefer the 10...
OMG ..........decisions, decisions!
Interesting about ammo availability
I was actually in Bass Pro today and they had zero 44 cal and actually said they were having some trouble getting a hold of it - so that may be an issue
So maybe should look at either the 30-30 or 357?
So in the Marlin...
ok
Got a shotgun, Troy AR15 , mossberg MVP Patrol (556/223) small 22 rifle, glock and shield both in 9mm
For Christmas, I would like Santa to bring me a lever rifle :cowboy: but not sure which one
