RE: marlin 22 mag
i like mine except for the bad firing pin it had. mine is the stainless model with the syn stock and is light even with the scope which is a old tasco 3x9x40 pronghorn. its got the fiber optic sights but i took the back sight ramp off so i could mount the scope without see through mounts. i been getting rid of the water turtles that steal my fish at my little lake, there are three or four stumps in the back waters that the turtles sun on. most of the stumps are at least a 100 yards from my shooting table, using the cci bullets i get no drop and the gun puts the shots dead on target every shot. the win. bullets do about as good. i got my son one also but it has the blue barrel and a honey colored laminated stock. the guns are cheap made but look good and shoot good for the price. if i get the chance i would get another one for my little girl.
