Hello folks. I recently purchased a Marlin Zane Grey Century 30-30. The rifle is in very good condition, with only minor stock blemishes and no defects to the metal finish. Does anyone have any idea on the value of the gun, as well as the type of wood used on the stock, and the shade of finish used on the wood?

Thanks in advance.

  This model was introduced in 1972, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Zane Grey, the famous Western author, it has a 22" octagonal barrel chamberd as you say in 30-30 . The stock is high grade walnut and features a brass buttplate and pistol grip cap. A Zane Grey medallion is inlaid into the receiver. There where 10,000 made in 1972. values show in the book are NIB 350, Exc. 300 V.G. 250..
  now my other book says there was only 7871 made and NIB is 395,,, 98% 325

  THE GUN MUST HAVE THE FACTORY BOX AND PAPERS AND BE UNFIRED TO BRING ANY MORE THAN SHOOTER PRICE. IN TODAYS MARKET A GOOD CLEAN 336 MARLIN IS ABOUND $300.00
  
  I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.
