I got a Savage MKII FV, the Savage rifle similar to your Marlin and I had a heck of a time choosing. Eventually I had to close my eyes and pick because it was either that or buy both. I am extremely impressed with my rifle and how it shoots with any ammo. I am sure yours will do as well. I am glad you have taken that first step. When you get to know your rifle, take the next step...a 22 pistol. You're gonna have some fun now. In the mean time...don't chew your nails off waiting in anticipation for the day you can bring baby home. Just do as I did...get out the Red Ryder and shoot holes in the screens.Today I purchased my first firearm. It's an XT-22VR. I'll still be waiting 28 days before I can bring it home to the safe. I'll put some picks up after my first trip to the range.
hombre...Have you priced a "Red Ryder" lever these days. Fetching almost $50...Just do as I did...get out the Red Ryder and shoot holes in the screens.![]()
