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.
All I can say is, Nick is going to die! Cuz I aint dressing in drag and wearen highheals! Maybe nOn can save him!
