In spite of most of what has been written in regards to the Genesis, I still think there is some hope for the stainless version to be a decent rifle. Those pics make that "blued" version look Parkerized and the receiver? section does NOT look painted as it did in earlier pics... but thatcould be just the lighting.

Can't say I really understand the use of a cross-bolt safety on a hammer gun. Guess Marlin could tell me (lawyers, yeah ah know).

I could have a ball trying to find a scope mount arrangement that would work!
