You can find them for $200-300, usually in good shape. Lots of fun to shoot, accurate, great for coyotes and smaller varmints. Missing parts should be cheap and available @ brownells.

 

I bought a used blue one eariler this year with a bushnell scope for $280... i asked myself the same question...did i overpay?... it a tack driver that i love to shoot...maybe i did overpay...but i love it anyway! I think on todays market u did ok.

That's my thinking. Even if I paid a little too much, I am very happy with the rifle and haven't even shot it yet. I cannot tell you what excitement I feel when I get another tube fed Marlin. It makes me warm and fuzzy inside! lol I cannot wait to shoot this thing, and I may just have to freeze my butt off come Sat morn.

Just stopped to think about it for a minute, I now have:
Model 60 .22
Model 883ss .22 mag
Model 925m .22 mag
Model 9 (Camp 9)
Model 336 30-30
X7VH .223 with 26" bull and synthetic stock

I guess you could say I love my Marlins!

 

You didn't overpay if that's what it is worth to you!

 

Asked myself the same question after buying a BP inline 50 w/scope. Paid $100 for it but has a nice leather sling w/quick mts. Figured the sling/mounts/see troughs/and scope is worth the money.

I got the chance to shoot it a couple times last night and I have to say......I love it like all the other Marlin tubes I've had. Glad I got this. I never liked my 925 due to the mag hanging off the bottom of it. I couldn't sling it due to the mag poking me in the back and I didn't like putting the mag in my pocket. I'm completely satisfied with this 883 and the 925 will be for sale.

 

Pics or it didn't happen.

Haha, I will try to get one uploaded tonight when I get home. I finally got a new PC and this gives me a reason to upload some pics to it!

 

I've got a 783 and an 883, both blued with walnut stocks. I paid $140 for one, and $200 for the other. I imagine that stainless adds to the price, so I wouldn't call it over paying if its what you wanted and you didn't mind spending the money.

 

Well, if I can get my images to load to the gallery that I am trying to load them on, I will post a pic..... Time will tell.

 

Here is the 883ss in question. As always, my phone hates shiny things and doesn't take a good pic.

 

I fell in love with this gun about a year and a half ago. The one I had was so nice that both my Father and my Step Father had to have one. I kept up my search and found both of them one.

These are very nice rifles, imo!

 

OH man, I really love it so far. I'm on the hunt for more ammo now as this will likely replace my 10/22 with the Shillen barrel. lol With the price of ammo these days, I can shoot the magnum as cheap as the lr.

22lr is ridiculous, I've got two 22lr that I don't have ammo for. My .17hmr ammo used to look expensive in comparison, but nothing is $12 per 50 rounds is still better than not being able to shoot at all. Congrats on the new toy, saw one in a local pawn this week that was about the same price and was dinged up all over and no ss.
