Okay INGO here I go again asking opinions of my fellow Hoosiers. My question is this. Should I sell my Marlin 1897 Texan lever action .22 in order to buy a Ruger 77/17 with scope. They do not make the Marlin any longer and only made it for a year. Not sure if they still make the Ruger77/17 still? I do not have the funds to buy both so that is not an option. I own two other .22 lever actions one Marlin and one Henry.Either way I go the rifle will be used just for plinking.Opinions and thoughts please if you don't mind? Thanks.
