.270 HOWA 1500 FS or Trade

Looking to trade a .270 howa 1500 for a lever action Marlin 30-30 preferably JM stamped will consider other brands or will sell for $375 OBO The .270 has a Leupold base and rings with a first generation Nikon Buckmaster 3-9×50 scope this is a better scope than the new buckmasters the first gens used to be Nikons midlevel scopes above the prostaff but below the monarchs the second gens are now the budget line. This rifle was purchased new probably around 2005 has been well cared for blueing is in good condition no rust a few scratches on bottom of the floorplate. For anyone that may not be famiar with Howa it is essentially just a weatherby vanguard with howa roll marks theyre made in the same factory in Japan the stocks and triggers are interchangable between the two
