I am tired of waiting on Marlin to start making .357/.38 level action models again. I have looked into the used route, but I am seeing the price creeping up for quality examples, and I would like to stick to around $600. The only rifles in that range in current production seem to be the Rossi. (only looking for side gate loading)
There seems to be little middle ground on the internet, either people think they are great, or they are terrible.
Would I be making a bad decision picking one up? This is just for casual plinking/paper punching, I am not shooting competitions and wouldn't do any fussing with the gun, just straight out the box. I have read consistently the action is rough out the box but smooths up as it gets broken in.
So basically, I'd like to hear your horror stories or your stories about how great yours has been.
Cheers.
