join the cue only place i've seen these for sale is in the UK or frankonia.

Hibrion

They seem to be hard to come by. Over 90 views and only one reply says it all. I would even consider getting someone to order one new if there is anyone out there willing to do it.

your other option is to order a new one marlin still do em as well as Mossberg a new mossberg should only retail for abou 600eu going by US prices...but if you want pure quality wait for the winchester or marlin
you might try mick duggan in killarney as i know he stocks some 30/30 rounds;)

Hibrion

I will be in Killarney in a few weeks so I might try there. Thanks.

im dealing with a guy in the uk for a marlin at the moment. i saved 400 on the price it is here. its not a 3030 tho. but im sure he could get one for u. pm me if u want his details and ill send them unto u

Hibrion

Thanks. It certainly couldn't help to have the details. I'm trying to import a savage 308 at the moment but the guy I'm dealing with is finding it difficult tog et a quote for shipping.

the price i got to ship in the marlin was 115GPB. i e mailed him to see if he can get a 3030 and price. ill pm u what he says with his details when he gets back to me.

Marlin 336 in 30/30 Win'

336C. £628.32 inc vat
Stainless. £760.32 inc vat

thats the prices he got back to me with. if intrested ill send on his details and you can contact him urself. if their was more people getting them id suggest a group buy to save on postage.

Hibrion

Thanks. They seem to be around the same price you would get one here new; when you work in the postage etc. Might hold off and see can I pick up one second hand.

Look it can be done. If you want the rifle then the first thing is to phone up that dealer in the UK that is selling it.

I'm just now in the process of buying a rifle from a private seller, not a dealer, in the UK. It was for sale on one of the UK forums and it was easy to sort out. I got the seller to put his rifle into a dealer who would deal with an Irish dealer or sent it to a dealer in the north. Anyway between them all they sorted out the import export between them. Of course I paid for all the costs but it's not that expensive to do

Thanks to all who replied and aided my search. I'm now importing a beautiful, mint condition pre '64 Winchester 1894 in 30/30.
It was a bit pricier than a post '64 equivalent but I'm glad I went the extra mile. The fit and finish is far superior on the older models.

I'll post a few pictures and a bit of a review when I have the license finalized.

Cresent Sports Monkstown ,has one for sale, very clean speak to neil.

Sounds great, looking forward to it. I know I can't justify it to local law enforcement, but I really want a Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70 for a fun gun. Sometime in the future perhaps.

import could be much easier than from UK.

Well, I got the grant letter in the post and will be collecting the rifle, along with my new Beretta 87 T, next weekend.

Watch this space! I will put up a few pics and a review as soon as I get out with it. Hopefully I'll get to do a bit of stalking with it soon.

Ammo proved to be a bit elusive, but thankfully another RFD who is a friend of mine has some 150 gr Remington for me.


Thanks again for all the help lads.
