Seems they have achieved some kind of a cult status, for whatever reason. I do think they are great rifles, and actually do prefer them over Winchester lever guns, but I think folks need to come back down to reality just a bit. These had always been just "workin' guns", never all that expensive.

Yeah no kidding. Marlin I bought was 500ish and rusted by itself just sitting in the safe.
