    .38-55 is one of my favorite calibers. I greatly prefer it to any .30-30 even though the trajectory is a bit more rainbow. It is easy to handload and not fussy about powder type, even black works great.

      Thinking that's going to be the norm for a while.

    Funny that the item description listed it as "gun only, no box or paperwork", but in the pictures, there is a nice Marlin box... Caveat emptor..... Nice gun....

      Nice firearm agreed, but why do people do that? I  avoid auctions like that just because.  Trivial, yes, but just how I go.

    Hey Oakie, do you reload?
    Yes I do. I reload all my ammo. I just recently bought a Dillon XL 650. Been reloading for about 40 years now. My favorite past time.

    Trying to get use to this new format on here. Anyway, I also bought an old Marlin 336 3030. I really didn't want it, But the price was right and it was unfired. It belonged to friend of mine and I sold some guns for him. In return, he sold me the Marlin for a great price. The wood is gorgeous on it. Never seen wood like that on any Marlin. I ended up getting it confiscated by my son ;)  He really wanted it bad, and I already have a couple. At least I know he will enjoy the heck out of it.
