New to the forum, so greetings to all.
Just purchased my first Marlin, a 336W 30-30, JM stamped, built in 1971 according to serial #, picked it up at the local gun ship for $275.
Rifle has a tight action, very clean bore, gun shop thought it had a low round count for the year.
Does have a few mild nicks on the stock, which appears to be Birch?, will strip it down, refinish with a mahogany stain and True Oil.
Previous owner had removed the factory butt pad, cut the butt square, and rather sloppily installed a shotgun style recoil pad, which I'll replace with a tight fitted 1" Pachmyer Deaccelerator pad - have long arms, can use the extra length of pull.
Plan on scoping it, so appreciate recommendations for a scope, budget of around $200 or so.
Looking forward to tuning this nice rifle up, and than getting it to the range for some fun.
cheers
