I have a Marlin 25 (22lr) that was dirt cheap when Santa clause gave it to me 35 years ago, Masonite stock, see thru bluing and all. In those years I have killed a couple of truck loads of small game with it. Its still the only .22 rifle I own and last weekend I killed a pd with at 225 yds with a cci minimag, I can not complain about it being cheap.
