They get great reviews and look like a really nice rifle for a great price. Let us know how you like yours.

BTW where did you find the Marlin for $210? They seem to be around $300 around here. I'd probably buy the 25-06 one I've been looking at tomorrow if I saw it new for $210.
I bought it at Cabela's. I received a $30 off coupon in the mail and had points and gift cards. It retails there for $299. It ended up being $212 otd.

I was torn as I prefer wood stocks to synthetic but read too many good things about the Marlin.
