OP should look at the Marlin 795. I've got one and love it. I think it'd combine the capacity (can get 25 round mags) and price. I bought mine for $150 and $25 for the higher capacity magazine. It's a very light rifle, it's so much easier to carry th

Why is it that in every thread about buying a truck, so knucklehead has to state the obvious that trucks get poor economy, and then suggest buying a small car?

Yes, the manual is the way to go! the dual clutch auto is about $400-$500 to service every 40,000 miles. VW has had a higher than average failure rate of the DCT. This could be due to the lack of recommended servicings. Visit some of the TDI forums,

If you're going to be spending $300 you can put a little more with it and find a good used Marlin 39a. That rifle is going to be of much much higher quality than the 10/22 or 60. I don't think there's much difference in the quality between a 60 and

The price is certainly right, even if the free filter is something you wouldn't typically use. OTOH, you can get a Wix for almost the same price with a five off five coupon.

I know that not everybody has a ton of money, including myself but why would anyone buy a 95 taurus with a ton of problems. Its a money pit. You might be better off spending that money on a years worth of bus tickets.

I've always had luck buying gas from a place that moves a lot of fuel, and has good prices. Here in north austin, it has been the HEB grocery store, or the Randalls grocery store. Paid 3.22 a gallon yesterday for 87 in my grand marquis.

I've had several 4.3's and 5.3's. I have never had a problem with any of them, but the difference in fuel mileage has only about 2 or 3 MPG, which doesn't make the performance deficit of the 4.3 worthwhile for me.
