Marlin lever actions

The Marlin .30/30 was originally made for the working man on a budget who wanted a good, dependable rifle to hunt with. I realize the costs of manufacturing have gone way up in the past 40-50 years, but $1k for a Marlin .30/30 is definitely defeating its original purpose.

Give me a Browning BLR if I’m going to spend upwards of a grand for a lever rifle.
 
When remington went belly up they stopped making them. More fudds found their fuddness every day. Demand outweighed supply and 350 dollar lever guns went away for ever. It's not just 3030. Any marlin is selling for twice what it should be. My 45-70 cost 1500.
 
I picked up a 336 waffle top made in 49 a few weeks ago.
Its been rebarreled to 450 bushmaster. 250 yard thumper

$89 every day at Kmart. You could get a Marlin or Winchester for the same price.
