Just saw this on the BBC site.

Can't imagine my kid not getting to shoot one of these fun little guns!

Well, I'm going to treat my '73 even better than ever now.

That's too bad. Those are really good guns.

Things like this blow my mind because when you think of some of the crap that has seen its production stepped up it's a tragedy to see something so quintessential fall by the wayside.

Always been a Marlin man myself, but I wish I could've afforded this one. At $1,474.95 when it came on the market, there was no way I could've gotten one, and now, there's no chance I'll ever be able to.

Yeah, it's a shame. If I were a gun collector, I would definitely want one of these in the collection.

I can't blame the company though. They have to do what's good for the company, and if the rifle is not profitable it has to go.

Yup, Marlin for me also, I always liked a scope and a Winchester sucked when it came to mounting a scope on it, always jamming. I had a Glenfield model with matching scope but my son wanted it more so guess where it is these days? It's going to be a serious problem for him since he has three sons himself and they're all going to want it!
