Here is my Marlin, it is kind of a salvage old parts gun. I rebarreled to 32-20 using a 300 ultra mag barrel I cut way down (18 inch very light contour). The stock I repaired with epoxy and hollowed out. The scope is a old 3/4 Redfield and I made the base. Reformed the lever but bought the rear sight. I don't know if it is a bunny gun but without the scope it is less than 5 pounds. I am using NOE 311-122-HP GC for heavy loads and a Hornady swc that I reformed into a HP (will switch to cast when I run out). Rich
