Good gun ! This is a good gun for anything that walks in North America ! Have killed 2 good bucks with it and no trouble what so ever .

Lesson #1. Never loan your new Marlin to the nephew to use for deer season. I got to take about 20 shots with it sighting it in and this rifle didn't disappoint. Dead on accurate from 50 yards within 4 shots with scope. A touch more recoil than my Ruger but overall I am very impressed. Not too heavy either. Now to my nephew....He didn't clean it after using it and put it in the hard case. I opened the case two months after I loaned it to him and he returned it and it's rusted from tip to stock. I had cleaned it and oiled it before I loaned it to him and it was shockingly covered. I had two other firearms that I loaned them and neither had a speck on them. They were cleaned before I gave them to him. Never seen a rifle rust up that bad that fast. KEEP IT SUPER CLEAN, GREASED, AND OILED!

I have been looking for a 25.06 and was watching Buds for several weeks and trying to figure out which manufacturer / model that I wanted. I scrolled through the Marlin rifles one evening and I found this 30.06 version $100 cheaper than all the other Marlin models and it had an active "make an offer". This rifle was a $100 more the day before!! I read the description several times wondering what gives - nothing gives, it was new and other than it being a 30.06 and not a 25.06 I made an offer and it was excepted. I put a Redfield Revolution 3x9 scope on it and within 7 shots I had it dialed in at 100 yards. I have been going to the 200 yard range and I can get sub MOA 3 round groups with either Hornady American Whitetail ammo or Remington Corlokt both in 150g. I clean the rifle after every use and polished the bolt, but the only knock is the bolt is a little stiff and not very smooth. I am not complaining, I can't believe the accuracy of this rifle. The 30.06 kicks a little, but you can easily shoot a couple boxes out without any issues. 5 stars to Marlin & 5 stars to Buds.

Waited until I could take this gun to the range before writing my review. The rifle was recieved with a couple of minor issues, surface rust was just starting to form on the bolt and the recoil pad had a permanent indention on one side. The bolt is shipped loose with no lubricant or preservative on it. The bolt cleaned up easily with some CLP and scrubbing, and I had planned to replace the stock anyway with a wood laminate. Mounted the scope, bore-sighted the gun, and at the range the initial shots were all within a 4 inch group at 300 yds using Golden Bear (cheap, but good for plinking and initial sighting-in). A few adjustments and was able to put four rounds in the bullseye at 300 yds. Trigger is light and very crisp, bolt action is smooth. Loading takes some practice, the rounds don't naturally slide to the rear of the magazine and if you don't pay close attention you'll get a magazine jam when loading the third round which is difficult to clear.I'm sure this is as much me as the rifle, but I've never had this issue on my Savage 110. Overall, this is a nice rifle especially when the price is considered. It is good out of the box, and lends itself well to modification.I did not experience any issues with the scope base or other loose fasteners as others have reported.

I was so impressed with this rifle I just ordered the same 30-06 in stainless! The triger is the best I have ever experienced on a production gun. The bolt is smooth as silk. The stock is beautifully proportioned. Anthony's Armory in Chattanooga called to tell me the gun was ready for pickup before I even had a chance to contact them after putting the order into Bud's. Bud's had the lowest delivered price with the lifetime warranty and insurance and buy safe guarantee. The gun arrived in perfect condition. A totally painless transaction by Bud's and Anthony's Armory, lowest price, and a high quality product. I am extremely pleased with Bud's, Anthony's Armory, and this Marlin.

Very good rifle. The recoil is not bad and very accurate and reliable. This is one of my favorite weapons to shoot, especially since I added a tripod and scope.
