Get a Marlin Golden 39a and you will be happy with one of the finest 22 rifles ever made.I bought mine new in 1975.It cost me $125.Look at what they run today.It is a great rifle as well as a great investment.They are very accurate too.When I put a scope on mine,I really found out just how accurate it really was.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
