how come this rifle is so hard to get or find anywhere ? is this rifle made any more?

Paul, I would suggest checking on large gun and accessory sites like (6)un (8)roker and Guns International as discontinued and hard to find firearms and accessories show up for sale by private individuals and small shops. Just replace (6) & (8) with G & B. --------------- gunsinternational.com/

Doesn't look like it's been discontinued. Most likely just from covid and riots driving up the demand for firearms so high and we're still feeling the effects of it. Not to mention bidens Russian ammo/firearm ban Wich is making people panic buy again. Your best bet would be to either click on notify me when available and buds will email you when they receive a shipment of these in. Or if you don't want to wait you could check gunbr0ker, you might get lucky checking there. Good luck and hope this helps.

I just got this rifle recently. I went deer hunting. I was using hornady Ammo, 265 gr. It drop my whitetail right were it stood. Love this rifle.

This rifle shoots. Using 240gr. Remington ammo I'm getting honest 1.5" groups at 100 yards. The wood to metal fit is excellent and the action as smooth as a well worn "JM" Marlin. Remington has finally got its act together in producing Marlin rifles. My one and only complaint would be that the wood lacks the MarShield finish of old. They still call it Mar-Shield, but it's nothing like the old finish, it almost looks like it was stained, but no finish was put on over the stain. Really it has no I'll effect on the performance at all. I'm very happy with this rifle and highly recommend them.
Bud's as always, great job!
