Larry,
The Marlin DB is less expensive, and it looks it. I'd rather go $500 extra for the look & feel of the Athena D'Italia. The Marlin looks butt ugly! They'll be dropping them from their lineup any day now. I'm sure they're not selling too good.

That so called LC Smith is a peice of crap, made to a low price point. When they first came out, I picked one up to check out at a well known local gunshop. I looked it over, shook my head. The owner walked by then, hefted the gun and said "What a piece of crap!!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
I see that Remington has dropped their O/U. Too bad it was a nice gun.
With a poor trigger.
Will some one tell me why old established US gun companies such as Remington and Marlin, are totally unable to tap into a market Tony Galazan is making millions off of??
