    Last week the wife and I were looking at puppies and the gun shop was right across the street from the puppy shop. So, across the street we go... I found this Marlin in there and told my wife that it was just like the one I had before but had traded. I told her how much I liked the gun and wished that I had never traded it. Not a nick or scratch anywhere on it, looked like a safe queen. The man at the gun shop told me $425.00 OTD. So after much himming and hawing, we go on our way empty handed. Two days later I came home from work and there it was! I know the rules, pic of the wife... on a water ride at Disney.  |

Very nice OP your a lucky guy. I used to have a 30-30 that I would load up some "cowboy" rounds with IMR Trailboss. Those were fun as hell and basically sounded suppressed no ear pro needed and zero kick.

I would highly recommend the scout mount for it and a nice compact pistol scope.
Mine was a hand me down, killed lots of deer with that sucker, drops them where they stand. |

Turnaround is absolutely called for, and necessary. Surprise her with a similar gesture.

Remember now: you have to care for it, feed it every day, clean up after it and take it for walks.
And don't forget the puppy, too.
