Marlin,bullseye on stock?

It seems to be a target for the drill bit too.

I thought it was for a swivel stud too, but my 1894 had one installed in the right place so it never fell under the knife.
It was only after doing some reading I realized I'm an idiot.

When I installed sling swivels on my 336, I drilled that bullseye dead centre.
Oh well. I went on to take 11 deer with that rifle, so I think it forgave me.

I was told once that the stud was in the wrong place because it wasn't in the bullseye.

... once Remington irons out their quality

Sorry it's out of context but now it's accurate.

I have a new 1894CSS and it has the bullseye.

They still do. Remington removed them from at least the 39a's for a bit but quickly replaced them after numerous complaints from the marlin faithful. Mine has the missing bulls eye that I didn't notice in the gun shop until i got it home. I'm hoping this adds to it's worth some time down the road, not that I'm going to sell it.
