Has anyone here purchased one of these since they moved production out of the old Marlin plant? Wondering if they are still a good rifle. I know the lever-guns went totally to crap after they shut down the old plant.
 
I haven't purchased one, but I have heard the initial results have not been great. Seems to be a lot of negative talk. But again, this is just what I have heard.
 
I have heard a lot of negative talk as well. My friend had one that would not eject the shells reliably. It was fixed quickly for him.

I'm not trying to be condescending, but the Marlins are basically a cheaper copied version of a Savage with a couple of things changed. If it were me I would spend the extra $30-$70 and get a Savage.
