Well, I confess, you got me interested, George.
In deciding on my one and only centerfire rifle (it's all I can afford, and I really only want one do-it-all rifle), I've looked at scouts, Ruger Frontier, various truck guns, standard but short lengths (20"), Remington 7600P's, in .308 or 7mm08, all bolt guns or pumps, etc, etc, blue in the face.
All the while, I've been remembering my long lost Marlin 336, sold in a fit of financial desperation (called graduate school), and wondering...hmm, could one of those work?
This lever gun of yours opens new options.
What length is the barrel, please?
