MARLIN 1894 .22

[10mm4me]

Anyone have one or ever used one. I handled one at the shop and I think they are super nice, but $500!!!! Hard to justify for a rimfire. What's the general consensus on it.

They are nice. I just bought a 22 lever action, but I bought the browning BL22, grade 2. They are about 30 dollars higher than the marlin, but a little lighter with a little better walnut and bluing. I love it. As far as cost, what gun will you shoot more, a centerfire or a 22. I squirrel hunt more and more each year, but even if I didn't, I can shoot thousands of 22 rounds each year for peanuts. If you like, buy it. Never can have too many 22's

Didn't know there was such a thing. I've got an old 39A in .22 that I really like and an 1894 in .357 mag. Bought my 39A used in excellent shape for $90 about 25 years ago and bought my 1894 for $350 new about 15 yrs ago.
