Below is a repost from Art of the rifle:
Flagstaff Gun Show this last weekend! No exclamation point necessary. Not such a good show.
Anyway... I was able to find a new .22rf rifle, a Marlin model 81-DL. A nice tube fed, bolt action rifle with a nicely shaped walnut stock, 24" bbl and a Redfeild rear micrometer adj. peep sight.
Questions:
No serial number visable, so I assume it's pre-`68?
Does anyone know about this rifle?
Years of manufacture?
Production quantities?
Average values? This one may be >95%.
I'm told the sight alone is worth $80?
Would the DL suffix denote "Deluxe"?
It is a nice rifle with a nice full size stock. I haven't shot it yet, but will soon.
Thanks for any help!
