[QUOTE="DanB, post: 789939, member: 237"] Originally, yes that rifle was made and sold specifically to OTASCO(Oklahoma Tire and Supply Co.). they had several models that were sold through their stores. mine is a 3080 "Trail Ryder" standard Marlin 336 through and through. Just a different engraving on the barrel. The checkering/designs on the stock are pressed in not cut. Only thing I have specifically planned for this rifle is to replace the trigger with a Wild West Trigger. But I just can't force myself to let go of that much money for such a small piece of metal. I'm still on the fence on sending this to Olyeller for some refinishing. I wanted to order a matte black scope. However they seem to be popular and out of stock for some time. This was the last gun metal grey one MidwayUSA had instock. I still have my gift cert with Olyeller. Having him refinish the scope wouldn't bother me any. But its kind of growing on me. [/QUOTE]
