What under $400 bolt 22 mag would you buy?

Currently I am thinking about the Ruger American Go Wild version for $399 or a XT22M Marlin for $229


For under $400, I'd look for a used Marlin 783/883/983 S, the laminated, stainless, tubular magazine style.

I currently have quite a few rifles chambered in .22 Magnum and if forced to sell all but one, I'd keep the 883S and never look back.

That said, my favorite .22 Magnum is probably a Savage 24 combination gun in .22M over .410. A light, handy, woods loafing rifle and shotgun in one package.


This, 883S and install the RifleBasix trigger. Done!
