I picked up a Marlin 336C with a Bushnell 3-9 scope last year to help a co-worker out.
I've been looking to flip it since.
In fact I have been talking with some board members about it the last few days.

So, this morning I went to the local sporting goods store.
I haven't been in there for at least 2 years if not more.

The owner and I chatted for a bit and then he asked me if I had a lever gun in 35 Remington, 44 or 45-70?
Well yes I do!
Since it's only 2 1/2 miles from the house I told him I would go get it.
Jack also wanted me to look at a Smith 629 he just took in earlier in the day.
Well, it turned out to be a 629-3 6" with factory Pachmeyer's.

It's been shot some evidenced by a bit of bolt notch wear, but it is in nice condition.

I walked out of there minus a Marlin and a ridiculously small amount of boot, and came home with a nice S&W 629.

I know the pics aren't the best, I didn't realize how much this little Canon A2500 showed in the viewfinder that is outside the capture frame.
