So here's the deal, my dad's been wanting a bolt action.22 mag for the longest, right. He works a lot as a teacher so he doesn't have time to hit up the gun or pawn shops like me. Well I've been hunting and hunting one and two months ago I was in the pawn shop ( yet again) and spotted this girl ! Well they have layaway so I put 20% down and I've been paying $20 here $50 there and I've got it down to like $85. Well I was gonna buy it work it over , new scope ,find out what ammo it like the best whole 9yards but the old man just called me and said " Donovan! You saw that last txt message I sent you about a .22mag ? I'm still looking for one!" I says " what if I told ya I found one for only $100 ? " Long story short I'm going to drag him up there Saturday morning pay another $30 or so on it and let him pay the rest and put it in his name Think he'll be a tad bit surprised? 🤣

I got a Marlin 25MN in 22 mag I've had for maybe 20 years or more looks similar. I'm not a big gun guy like others on TMan but I like mine . That model must be a little better grade because it's got lot prettier wood. Your dad should like that real well. Your good man Wolfie.

Them Micro Groove barrels shoot nice. Nice simple action, and triggers are pretty good for as simple as they are. Good catch!
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

She's a looker and Marlin's micro grooved barrel should have her threading needles at good squirrel ranges
