Well, I did something I said I was never going to do again..I bought a Marlin.
A bolt-action in .22 magnum with synthetic stock (good for rough weather). This one has an accu-trigger of sorts and I wonder if I'm going to like it or not. It looks good and seems to function properly. When I shoot it, I'll let you folks know whether it works or not. If this one doesn't work, I swear, I'll never trust this company again. The last two new Marlins I bought were lemons, but this one just lept off the gun counter and threw itself up to my shoulder and it just felt so darn at home there, I couldn't resist. Kind of like an overly friendly cat clawing up your best pair of Levi's.

My Marlin 60-C loves CCI and is 1 1/2" at 100yds.
I put a 3x9x42 on it. Plinkster, heck it will nail you.
I have 14 in the tube. Pure pleasure to shoot.

Rifle ok , cat will be droppedkicked, I just this weekend shot a buddy's Marlin 336 in 30-30 (late 70's early 80's) and will say it shot very well and I'm a "Winchester" man. I've got an old Glenfield singleshot in .22 and it's very accurate , hopefuly you find a good one, good luck and good shooting.
My first Marlin XT out of Kentucky had the front sight installed squish to the right. My second one is great. I really like the feel of these more than the Savages.
