Ok....im impressed.
I broke down and picked up a new Marlin (Remlin) GBL. I was a bit concerned for the reasons we are all aware of. I was surprised, this gun is great. The action is slick enough i can work it woth my pinky finger. Wood to frame fit is near perfect, actually better than one of mt JM guns. The finish is flawless, not a single discoloration in the black. The real test is to come when i sight it in tomorrow but so far it looks grear.

Re: Ok....im impressed.
The Remlins I've seen on the racks over the last couple of years have looked pretty darn good. Wouldn't hesitate to buy one. Some of the early ones I saw should not have left the factory.
Have you hugged your rifle today?

Re: Ok....im impressed.
I'm picking up a Marlin 1894 CST (357 Mag threaded) tomorrow, so I guess I'll see how they are...
Then I have to decide which of my existing firearms to sell off to fund the purchase.

Re: Ok....im impressed.
I am resisting one of these. I really like my Rossi but a CST might replace her.
Good to see the quality is improving. I still have not fired the 45/70 I picked up a few years ago, though it seems pretty well put together.
Re: Ok....im impressed.
Doc, I thought it was illegal to sell off guns like that...

My stainless guide gun has chatter marks in that raceway on the bolt where the ejector goes. I polished it up and it works better than it did. My old JM Marlin in .35 Remington is much smoother.

Re: Ok....im impressed.
The Remlins used to be hit and a lot of miss when Remington first absorbed Marlin, but I, too, have heard they are getting much better. Look forward to the range report!

Whoo doggy doesthis sucker shoot!!! Now i did mount a lvpo optic on (1-4×24) as my eyes aint what they used to be. It took 7 rounds to zero at 100 yards and 1 to ensure the zero
Recoil was a firm push and not a smack. Very happy.

Re: Ok....im impressed.
I really pleased with my 336Y I picked up last winter, it's also a tack driver! I mounted a Leupould 2.5x scout on it and Skinner irons. I really like this little rifle.
I did have to change out the loading gate spring for a Rangerpoint, it was very stiff and even working the gate 1000 times(100 times a day for 10 days and many bloody pinches later) I broke down and got a new one, money well spent.
The wood fit to metal is tight and the matte blue is even.

Re: Ok....im impressed.
Doc,
I bought one last winter and have been really impressed with the workmanship. This thing will feed everything I've tried, right down to .38 Spl SWCs.
