Been looking for what I call my "creek gun" over the past few years, wasn't sure what I was looking for. A favorite pastime of mine is wandering the creek that borders my property and I usually carry an old h and r single shot in 22 hornet. I like looking for old marlin levers and was poking around the local pawn shop when I found a marlin 25 MB in 22 magnum. It cleaned up pretty good, stock is kinda rough but can be fixed. Put a 4x scope on it today and was able to consistently hit golf balls at 50 yards, plenty good for me. Think I found me a new creek gun.
