It was my first big game rifle.
Bought it in late '70s-early '80s(?) at a Kmart their pre-hunting sale.
$84.50 or $89.50, can't remember.
It has taken at least 10 deer, as it was the first rifle of several and it is in a yearly rotation now.
Still in absolutely pristine shape.
Love that .35 Marlin.
I have no doubt that if I had to sell all but one of my hunting long arms, it would be the one "not for sale."
