New owner of a Golden 39A

[270man]

Rocky,

After years of ignoring the lever rifles, I have become a big fan of them. A Marlin 336 in 30-30 and my newer 1894C in 38/357 won me over. I don't own a lever 22 but wish I had bought a Marlin 39M years ago. Sadly, they dropped it from production. I prefer the 20" barrel to the longer and heavier 39A (24" barrel). Used ones for sale are almost non-existent. The ones available cost an arm and a leg.
