WiFAL is right - the Marlin bolt action rifles are discontinued. They are not listed on their website & I spoke with a lady from Marlin who told me they are discontinued. A local sporting goods company has 2 of these rifles on sale for $299.00 with no scope. One is a .270 and the other is a 30-06. I may be interested in the .270. Anybody out there know anything about the quality of the Marlin bolt action rifle?
