Well, the Marlin 308MLXR JM in 308 Marlin Express is on the top of the list for me. Extremely accurate at long range and looks great.. The 336SS is just a gorgeous gun and for the money can't beat the Browning BL-22. All three picked off the Cabela's used gun rack for a great deal.
Just picked up a brick of small rile primers and the pice went from $89 per 1k to $129.99. Hated to pay that but better to have than not. Working on some 22-250 and 223.
