) There is a sentimental attachment to the rifle, but there's just something about those little rifles appeals to me. Marlin has made the same basic bolt action from 1934 until the recent XT series. Marlin made these rifles for most of the older big box stores, Sears, Wards, Western Auto, JC Penney and even some smaller outfits and they are abundant on the used market. I haven't examined the XT, but it too looks like an improved model of their venerable bolt action repeater series with an improved trigger. I have purchased several of these rifles in different generations, even a .22 WMR and I'm always looking for a good deal on another. They will never be a valued collectors item. I've given three of them to my daughters for their children when they get old enough to shoot, but even that isn't the reason I buy them. (it's a sickness I think) It made me wonder if any of you have a weapon that you already have, but would buy again and again. There are other weapons I have duplicates of, but this one just gets me going. So any repeat offenders out there?Edited for post title clarification
over CZ 452's. I quit after eight. 
I also have a 4" Python, but would also like a 2.5 and 6 inch, and one of the Anacondas. I really miss the craftsmanship of the old Colt Revolvers.
