Recently manufactued 45/70 Marlins

Or assume nowadays there shouldn't be any workmanship issues with a new 1895? Nowhere near a Cabela's store so online is about the only way to get one for under 8 notes. A workmanship issue that wouldn't be noticed by inspection before buying would be a canted barrel. :eek:
 
Going to be getting a Remlin 336ss 30-30 win shortly at a lgs.
Picked it out last week. As good as any JM I've ever seen.
Will be mounting a Leupold 2-7x33 on it and will replace the stock trigger with a WWG trigger happy kit.
The Win 94 will be going to my kid who has been asking for it. Those iron sights are a bit fuzzy for my old eyes.
Thanks to blaney and c42 it took him an extra 8 months of waiting for a course to get his pal. :mad:
 
About a year ago I bought a Henry 30-30 at Cabela's. I returned it a week later because the sights were so misaligned that at the maximum adjustment one way I was still hitting about 8" off the other way. They took it back with no hassle for a store credit (not a refund). They would have replaced the gun for me with another from inventory but did not have one at the time. Instead I laid out a few more bucks and bought a Marlin 336XLR (stainless/grey laminated stock). I should have bought the Marlin in the first place. The gun has excellent fit and finish, functions perfectly, and groups better than expected (and way better than the Henry).
 
Had a recent discussion with a cabellas manager.
This was while looking over a new stainless 336

They will not remove the trigger guard or let you cycle the action.
You walk out the door there are no returns or store credits on firearms.
You would be told to contact marlin...

So how did your warranty experience work out?

Both guns were mailed to Gravel Agency and sent back to me. No change, so they were sent right back, and were found to be considered junk. Two new warranty replacement rifles were sent to me. I've dealt with Gravel before and have always had problems resolved with great service. The new rifles are A1.
