I've been newly bitten by the lever action bug and am in negotiations for this old gal. The owner says he believes it is late 80's production. He wants $425 for the rifle plus "3 boxes 150gr remington bullets."
Deal or no deal?

Unfortunately, I can't get my hands on it to inspect or read the serial number yet.

Ouch! $425. Negotiable? That one pictured has upgraded wood. Looks nice. I'd have to be real hard over on having one to pay $425.

That is a little high but the original Marlins aren't being made anymore and the ones out there are just going to go up in price. I lucked up and got one a while back for $200. I'm sure I will never find another one at that price. If you REALLY want it, you might not want to pass it up if its in good shape. That is nice wood...!! |

what are you giving for 3 boxes of 30-30, remingtons. factor that in.puts it under 400.00 somewhere. Has the bullseye, and its not got a hole in it for a sling swivel like you see sometimes. Wonder if GB has anything comparable.

Thanks for the info guys! I think you're all echoing what I should be thinking about here. I like it, I'll see if I can talk him down.
Any thoughts on a piece like this for a young boy's first deer gun? I've never shot a .30-30 but I hear they're more forgiving, might try this out on my 11 year old-the ol .270 might be a bit much. |

Honestly, that isn't a bad price on a clean JM marked gun. I've seen several similar guns recently and all were around the $450 range. They didn't have ammo though. Really, you're actually only paying around $380 for the gun if you consider the ammo.
The wood is nice, but nothing out of the ordinary for Marlins from that era. Is it a .30-30 or .35 Rem? You didn't specify. I'm with other folks suggesting a browse through GB and Armslist for average prices. They aren't making them anymore and prices are bound to rise. ETA: you posted .30-30 right before I sent my post.

The 30-30 is great for a boys first deer rifle, I got one for my birthday when I was 10 or 11.

Hope you gents didn't think I'd leave you hanging. I pulled the trigger on this deal for $400, including 3 boxes of ancient remington 150grs. Serial number starts with 24. The previous owner stated to me after the deal that he had never actually shot it, so the first thing I did was run up into the hills to eviscerate a Lacroix can. Check out that bolt!
Mushed Akubra Adventurer for scale.

nice score. IMO with prices these days I'd pay $425 without blinking for a gun like you got.

Great rifle, they are very popular in PA for deer and bear. I have the same gun in 35 Remington and I love it.

Is that a 336C or a 336CS? I had a 336CS that I bought in the 80's from K-Mart for $179 and foolishly sold about 10 years later. Would love to have it back.
You got a nice lever gun for a good price...!

But did you get, or give, the ammo? I'm confused on that part. |

I paid $200 for that rifle a month ago. Very minor surface rust, but it is a shooter and a good truck gun.

Well, the Marlin is gone. I traded it off today for a Winchester 94 in .30-30.
