Thread: Is your Marlin going to be a Ruger

Greetings All,
I bought 3 new Remington 700 rifles over a period of 30 years and they are all still here. The last, a VSSF .223, had a slow twist barrel and a not that flash trigger. I wanted a faster twist but was not all that impressed with other options at the time. Timny solved the trigger problem. When I was later possessed by a need for something with 6.5 stamped on the barrel Remington was offering nothing. The 6.5 had Tikka stamped on the barrel as well. I think that this was the problem that Remington had in that they were slow to offer what the public wanted at the time. Winchester did worse in offering a whole batch of new cartridges that no one wanted. I suppose that is just part of offering products in the US Market with it's cyclic lurches in demand.
It does seem that the brands will still be available which is good. From time to time I am possessed by the idea of a Marlin lever action. It's nice to know there should be some available if I succumb.
Regards Grandpamac.
