Same here. I do like the Trapper style....but not really at that price point...though it has the sights and everything Id put on it. Eventually I'll get a Ruger made Marlin as well.Can probably get a Henry for $300 less.
Or a Winchester for around the same cost.
Or a Uberti.
When you go past $1K, there are several options. Maybe not all for trapper style, but there are some nice rifles.
I am sure the Ruger rifles are nice, eventually I will own one, but I am going tonwait until they flood the market a little.
Not to deviate the thread any more than it is but I like Williams FP sights on my Marlins and Marbles tangs on my Pumas both are easy to get on target as they are fully adjustable for windage and elevation. If both Remington and Ruger (can't say as mine are all JM's) have kept the mounting screws for a scope the same as JM's then the Williams just pop right on. All Williams Peeps also accept all their apertures. I have a full set of low light ones that I can use on any of my marlins in various opening sizes. The only one I had an issue with was on a Marlin 1894 SS. For whatever reason, The FP hung off the back 1/2". It would work but looked terrible. I ended up drilling a third plug hole screw and threading it (took a while to find what Marlins thread size and pitch) exactly 1/2" forward of the second. I also got a few extra plug hole SS screws from Numrich if I ever decide to remove it. The receiver would have 3 plugs instead of two but all three matching.Skinner sights?
I have them on my Henry Big Boy in 44 mag, they are a pain to sight in, but work great once set up
DoneI was on my phone and probably took the first link I found for the new Guide Gun. That site definitely looks like a scam.
Sorry. I'll delete the link from my post, to prevent confusion.
@Mountain and @Mark from MA - a little sleuthing on that link shows that it's registered in Iceland...I would edit your posts that quote mine.
