Marlin Guide gun ''bullseye''

[heavyBullet]

My 1895 45/70 purchased just last Sept. has no bullseye. I am not sure about it becoming a collectors item as ff33 mentioned, but I do know that the price has gone up $145 since last Sept.

Now that I see it, I remember seeing it! I never knew it was called the Marlin Bullseye or gave it much thought. Is it just a cosmetic thing?

 

[ff33]

Not sure how or why it started. I believe it's there to seperate there guns from all the other guns. When the guns are lined up for sale in the gun shop it will stare right out at you. Might be other reasons as well but it has become their trademark of sorts. They have been doing it for a long time.
