I feel like an optamologist " 1 or 2?" 2 or 3? Ha ha

Ok, you guys convinced me to get the Marlin. So which Marlin 22 mag?

Marlin 25NM birch stock, blued barrel, 7 shot clip mag $165 plus tax

Marlin 83TS synthetic stock, blued barrel, 12 shot tube mag $177 plus tax.

Leaning toward the 83TS..

I have the 25 and like it alot. Still need to do a trigger job on it though.

TS SCott.... If you had the exact same gun with a synthetic stock and 12 shot tube mag for $12 more would you still like it? Thanks!

I' d go with the 83ts. I have a 25nm it shoots alright but the mag is alittle bit to be desired. Zeak

Thanks Zeak! Yes, I was at walmart trying out the NM and wasn' t happy with the size of the mag or the fact that I had to slam it home to get it to stay and there still wasn' t any sort of click to let me know if it was in place. I had to slam it and then pull on it to see if it was attached. Not good. Tube mags are ok, especially since I can put 10 bullets in without even filling the mag.
