Pops and I went and braved the wilds of Cabelas in KC, KS today. Picked up a new Marlin 1894 for $529.99 plus tax. It was listed in the ad at $549.99, regularly $579.99. When the nice cashier rang it up, it showed $529.99. She saw it, shrugged and continued with the transaction.
Before we plunked down the $$$$, we checked it over pretty good. I had to use my phone flashlight to look down the bore(:-|) and it looked good. Checked over everything else and it all looked good. Didn't see anything out of order. Took a while to get home, and once we did, had to fix fence. After getting it cleaned up, was able to fire off a grand total of 10rds before it got too dark to see what I was doing. Was able to get 3 rds within 2" from about 50 yds offhand standing. I think it'll be good to go once I get more lead down the pipe. And now for pics:
