I got the SBL over a year ago, the shop wasn’t actually supposed to sell it yet, they just had it as a display but they saw dollar signs. I won’t say what I paid for it, but I will say I may have been the first private owner of one outside of youtube channels. It shoots fantastic, these marlins outperform Remlins in every aspect, and even I dare say JMs in many ways. The scope is just something I threw on for fun, haven’t shot it with the scope yet but I doubt I keep it on there.
