6 year old thread.....

These rifles are resurfacing and in my opinion the quality issues have been addressed. So I feel this thread is still relevant. I'd hate for any of the site sponsors, or any firearm business would lose sales because of old info.

According to Gravel production is scheduled to start in Q1. I have one on back order with hopes of Feb delivery.

Marlin (under Remington / Freedom Group) is known to have variable production schedules on their different lines.

I can disclose more when it's in my hands but I am not expecting to pay more than $1000 for it NIB based on a one-time-only previous arrangement..

Prairie Gun Traders has some listed in stock at $1299.

The fitment on these is definitely better, but the checkering is still not quite there yet. It's more like scoring than checkering.

I managed to find one at Canadian Tire a month ago for $1050 CAD. While the checkering could be worked on, the fit and finish issues seem to be clearly addressed. I took it apart completely and it looks quite good.

That's a great price for an SBL in Canada in today's market

I thought these guns were cheaper 5-6 years back guess I was wrong. Toss up between this and BLR for my favorite lever gun.

Anyone know of someone in Canada (Alberta even better) that makes leather stock wraps that can hold cartridges for this bad boy?
