Range report:
This thing seems right on straight out of the box, more acurate than I am for sure. I started off on the bench just to be really stable, I was shooting bowling pins at about 35 yards. After a couple of mags I was mowing them down fast freestanding. The 32 rd pmag caused 2 stove pipes on the first use, a little disheartening, after that not one malfunction. My wife wasn't able to connect. I let my neighbor have a go this morning, he also couldn't connect on a pin that I had hanging from a tree. I took it from him and had the pin spinning like a top with 5 rounds, THIS IS MY RIFLE!!!! I walked around the woods looking for some of thise nasty sinister squirrels that burned down my house with no luck. All in all I love this gun. Now to find some .22lr at normal price

Just like peas and carrots...you were meant for each other!

Yes, I do believe in fate.

329.99 + 24.99 (pmag) + tax=385.35 otd.
They sell the standard for 239.99 and the carbine for 249.99........when they have them in stock.
I think the TD feature plus stainless plus the awesome range bag is well worth the 80 dollar premium.

They had no ammo, however they did have one 32rd pmag, which is now mine as well.
I have 500 rds or so. I gotta be careful with that pmag.

Well, I decided to stop by Bass Pro just to look around and see if maybe they still had one of the Marlins on the rack. I had already called this morning to check on the Ruger and they said they haven't seen one in a couple of weeks

I can't wait to get out to the property in the morning and

I'm in the market for a .22 rifle, kick myself everyday for not buying last fall when I dicided I need one.
I really want the Ruger 10/22, however Bass Pro Academy and Wally world haven't seen one in a couple of weeks.
Bass Pro did have a few Marlin 60's on Wednesday.
Any suggestions or comments on any .22 rifle that would be available in the under $300 range would be much appreciated.
I'm trying to decide if I should settle for the Marlin or just wait it out for the Ruger.
