In all seriousness, the Marlin is a great rifle, too. I own a Model 60, one of the best rifles ever made.
Brownings are nice, but in terms of quality AND accuarcy AND ruggedness, it's hard to beat the Marlin.
California sucks that's it.
Welcome to the pile, jeff! Watch out for that big female sasquatch at camp. Don't feed her! She will mistake your intentions, pester you to death, and follow you home.Help yourself to my famous savory camp kettle stew hanging over the fire. It will stick to your ribs, jeff. Somewhere in the big kettle is a moose eyeball, the lucky token that enters you in our camp giveaway. It's a donated Black Bear flashlight that bohica is presently using. The ultra bright beam can melt a hole through a brick wall.
I see our local lunatic has introduced himself.....
