RE: .25-06
Whiskeytrain:
I picked up the rifle from a small gun shop in Jaffrey NH. I looked for 3-4 months before I secured one for $298.Marlin shipped a few hundred 25-06at the end of '08 to 2 distributors in Penn and NC.These distibutors mostly supply Dicks Sporting Goods so they are the most apt to have the .25-06 now.
Keeptabs on the gunbroker website. They had a few up on therethe last few weeks. I just checked andthey only have .270 and 30-06 now.Between FFL tranfer fees and shipping you may pay up to $375 using gunbroker. You will save some greenbacks ifyou can get locally.
