Nothing like that guys - the marlin is simply a Marlin - manufactured about the same time as the Remington 700ML. It did have some obb ball characteristics but was at the time a real decent shooter. You can convert it to 209 with a conversion kit from Cabelas. I can not remember who made the barrel for them but itwasa decent company. The action is designed off the 77 action if I remember right. I also think the trigger was adjustable. If my memory is correct it is a short barrel.
