Hey,
I am new to this forum. I am in the market for a .22. I would like to make hunting squirrels and rabbits a bit mroe of a challenge instead of using my 20ga. I am looking at the Marlins. I have heard a lot of good things about them and like the way they look. I have a few questions though. I am not sure which to get, a semi or a bolt action. What is the difference between the two? (besides the obvious, one auto loads.) Does the action effect anything such as accuracy? Also, I was thinking about getting either the 7000 which is a semi, or the 980V which is a bolt. They both have heavy target barrels, which I believe is better? I do not need sights on it because I will mount a scope on either gun. Any advice on which to get? I am kind of leaning towards the semi since its about $50 cheaper.
Thanks,
Chris
