Hi Folk's, I'd like your opinions on this. I've had the Marlin (.357) for awhile, it's in excellent condition and is one of the last JM guns. I have the box & everything it came with. I've become enamored with these newer Miroku rifles. I've been reviewing my collection of late and have been changing up some things. I'm seeing the Marlins going for a pretty penny on GB, so I'm not sure what it's worth in the real world. The guy at my LGS thinks I should hang onto the Marlin. He says he's never seen a Winchester that could outshoot a Marlin. Any of you Folk's have one of these short rifles in .357? If so, how does it shoot? I'm looking at $975 otd for the Winchester & he'd have to order it. Thank's for any input-Dave
