RE: marlin 22 mag
 

How do you like the 982? My son is 12 years old and I am thinking of getting him one as his first rifle. He is mature and ready for a firearm to shoot at his grandparents. What type of scope did you put on it? I am searching for the best price on the rifle and deciding on the type of scope to put on it. Have you fired any Winchester ammo through it? I have heard some good things on that ammo.

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.
