so I went to the trap range, first time out since Feb, I was shooting at the no 2 trap by my self and 3 older experienced guys with some nice expensive 0/u were shooting for league score next to me, one shot 25/25, another shot 21/25, I also shot 21/25, so they sat down under a shade tree and I joined them, one said nice shooting, so they had been watching me, then one asked 28 in barrels?, yes, then we enjoyed the day and I said its a Marlin, wow, none had heard of a o/u marlin and asked how old? I said 1939, oooooh thats why they did not know they existed, sat and enjoyed the day, then I said btw its a 16ga, and one said aha, we thought it was a 20ga, but did not sound right, we were arguing about it, then they all wanted to check it out. made my day. |

Have too look a fur piece to find an affordable , or for that manner unaffordable shotgun that has balance and point ability equal to the Ole
Marlin 90 .
Picking up a lot of sxs's right now , BUT it's hard not to love one of the most perfect affordable shotguns ever built.
