I recently became interested in lever-action rifles, especially the .30-30 cartridge. Interested, but not wanting to drop too much coin. I was looking through reviews and figured I would pick up a Marlin 336C as an entry lever gun. Could not find one. So I settled on the 336W, despite reviews that it was built to a price point and off to Wal-mart I go.
When I got there, they also had a new Rossi Rio Grand in .30-30. Interesting. I knew this model had been discontinued by Rossi in this caliber, but had read some good reviews on this gun, even though Rossi handguns take a pretty good beating on the gun boards.
It was $397.00. I told the guy it was discontinued and asked for a discount as they had obviously had it in stock for awhile (he was very helpful, btw). Long story short, I walked out the door for under $400.00 including tax and a box of ammo. I think I did okay. Can't wait to shoot it!
Any Rio Grande owners out there?
