I saw a very nice Marlin 336C pre cross bolt saftey .35 Remington in a local store near here priced at $285...no scope......this was 5 or 6 months ago........Depending on the scope, it could be an ok deal............I think I'd find out a little more about the bushnell, as if it were an elite 3200 or 4200 it might be worth the price......depending on the scope it could be a great deal......have a look at the optic zone's website.......Jon has very good prices on new bushnells that should give you an idea what the scope would cost new........I'd then subtract at least 30% for a used scope in like new condition........
