Description
This is chambered for Hornady’s ground breaking 308 Marlin Express. The .308 ‘Marlin Express’ is a cartridge developed in 2007 by Marlin Firearms & Hornady for big game hunters in the US. It is based on the .307 Winchester with a goal to duplicate .308 Winchester performance. The cartridge uses a slightly shorter, semi-rimmed case similar to that of the .220 Swift to function in lever action rifles. As introduced in Hornady’s LEVERevolution line of cartridges, it is the highest velocity production cartridge designed for lever action rifles with tubular magazines.
This ammunition is commercially available in Australia.
This rifle is in excellent condition & was used for hunting rarely. It features a 22″ blued barrel, the Marlin signature solid top receiver with side ejection, adjustable folding semi-buckhorn rear sight, ramp front sight & is drilled & tapped for scope mount.
This combines the traditional look of blued steel & walnut with the outstanding long-range ballistics of the 308 Marlin Express round. Used for hunting Elk in the US, this would make an excellent rifle for that trip up north?

These sell new in Australia for around the $1,300 mark & in this condition we think it represents good value.
