The OPs rifle is beautiful. I have handled these Trappers and they had several on sale at Cabelas and Bass Pro. Maybe still are, $1199. No JM Marlin ever made is their equal. Every time a fellow posts his new Marlin rifle along come the same bunch with their litany of grievances against Remington. Remington is dead and the Freedom bunch did not hold the Kenna family at gun point to make them sell. The best thing that has happened to the Marlin name in 50 years is Ruger. The JM myth of perfection is just that, a myth. The OPs rifle is a nice piece and congrats to him and many days of pleasure from his purchase is my wish for him.
