thanks for sharing your review.
I just picked one of these up.
Awesome... glad y'all found the review helpful. See you in Tulsa JLW!
The only real negatives I can find so far on the rifle is that it will start to malfunction if you put pressure on the mag; and that some shooters find it hard to get into a position where their hand and/or arm doesn't contact the mag... usually smaller statured shooters. Being a roughly average-sized male, I don't have any problems with it.
Yes, this is a NY-made Freedom Group Marlin. My Dad bought an early Freedom Group 795 a few years ago, and it was noticeably rougher than this one. It looks like they've made at least some improvement since the buyout.
