Howdy Folks
Just can't make up my mind which one to get. I like the Marlin since you can mount a scope on it ( only plan to do so if my eye's get to where open sights don't work for me any longer ) if need be. The new Marlins have moved the serial number to the side of the receiver so you can mount a tang sight, I like that . Are the new Marlins drilled and tapped for a receiver sight? I don't care for the safety on the Marlin but I can live with it. At the gun show today a fella had one for sale for $450. used and in very nice condition. Couldn't mount a tang sight on it as the S/N is on the tang unless the drilled hole did not remove part of the S/N. What kind of accuracy at 100 yds do you get with your Marlin?
Looked at a Rossi at the show and it was a model 92 made in Brazill, fella wanted $429. + tax. It is a used rifle but in very good shap but I didn't think $429. was a good price. Didn't make an offer on it as I wasn't ready to buy. What are your likes and dislikes between the two? I know accuracy depends on many things but I'd like to hear what you folks get with your Rossi. Thanks MC
