A Marlin XT-22
Went to Academy to look over a Savage Mark II and the Marlin. They were out of the Savage, but the Marlin look like a decent rifle, same price. Has a similar trigger as the Savage too.  |

I bought the threaded barrel version a year or so ago and put on a Nikon ProStaff Rimfire Riflescope. Pretty damn accurate and fun to shoot IMO. Planning on getting a can one day.

You won't regret it. A bolt action 22 with a can is the most fun you can have with your pants on. I was grinning for 24 hours straight after i fired mine. |

Academy had Black Friday set up right.
They had the Black Friday sale guns being sold in a different part of the store. I walked up to the gun counter and was helped immediately, in and out in 15 minutes or so. I glad they did it this way so people wanting to buy regular priced guns aren't in line behind all the bargain shoppers. |

The mount in this pic is the Leupold Mark AR steel rings that I spraypainted like a schmoe. The LT mount was so that I could move between a low magnification scope and high magnification bench rest scope.

I think the actions and triggers are the all but identical to the savage but the Marlin has a better stock and heavier model 60 style barrel . I believe they share the same mag as the semi auto 795. Good choice.

13-14 years ago I had a 22lr Marlin with the Micro-grooves very fine shooting rifle, being the idiot I am I sold it. I picked up a 17HMR Marlin its kind of okay the bullet drift in a breeze sucks but expansion is cool. I have 2 bolt actions now in rimfire, I love the remington 510 Targetmaster paid $50 for it, what a neat rifle.

Aim Surplus I was considering getting that one, but mag and parts availability is a question and after transfer fees, shipping, etc I am close to the cost of a new Savage or Marlin. If they were $50 then no question, I would get the M1969.

http://oi50.tinypic.com/2i447t.jpg That would be a tube fed 151M. My 151M is one heck of a shooter. They were made from 1946-1958 depending on the model which had a, b, and c suffixes in a ( ) after the M. Mine is a plain M ('46-'47). 
I bought a Marlin like the OP's at a local flea market this past Summer but traded it for a 1955 Remington Fieldmaster pump. I just did not care for the plastic stock that much. That said it was a fine shooter at 50 yards. Sorta surprised me. Meh...What can I say....I'm just a wood and blued steel type of guy.

CZ 452 Varmint, with a brookes trigger kit. Really nice little gun. I had mine as a practice piece for my .308. When I sold the .308, I nearly sold the CZ, but took it to the range and after watching the rounds go downrange through a high mag scope it went back into the safe.....

Here is a 42 MB that Bubba Brit made a sporter out of (I redid it) and he had threaded (1/2" X 20 tpi) for a supressor. I put a adaptor to 1/2"X28 on it. The scope mount is a Brit copy of the old Weaver side mounts. The great thing about these is that you can adjust the trigger down to around 2.5 pounds. Even with the old 3/4" scope on it it's a tack driver.
