Yes I have one granddaughter, so we will see if she shows interest.
Went to Omaha to visit today, and during a break I went to Cabela's to look at a Marlin 795. Last time I was there they were out.
So I get this kid at the counter, must be his first day..
He pulls the rifle out of the box, but that is where the fun began. I asked how many mags?
Just the one he says, so I ask if they have any more to sell. He comes back in about 5 minutes and jams a Mossberg Plinkster mag into the hole and it gets stuck.
I point out the obvious problem and he mutters something about them looking the same.
So I change tactics and ask about a Marlin model 60, "just the price " I said. (I was scared of what he might do next)
So after a few minutes of head scratching he tells me they only have one Marlin 60. It is a .357 magnum and costs 600 and some odd dollars.
So, I bladed at 45 degrees and left the area.
I did see a Marlin 60 camo stocked Ducks Unlimited rifle, like new for $249 in the used rack
But I decided to hold off as the 4473 line was about 10 deep and I did not have the time to wait.
