Nice, gotta love the octagon barrel. And it's a Marlin, always a good choice. This will be the first year I'm taking a lever out to the U.P. Got myself a 1953 Marlin in .32 Win. Special. After shooting one, I'm a big fan of the lever gun now. Plus it's a purely American action. Of course you will have to post all the graphic photos after you shoot a deer with the Marlin and gut it out with a Scrapyard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.
That was always the unfortunate part about living in Detroit, you really had to dive some distance for decent hunting. Your package is on it's way. You should have it by Wednesday at the latest.
