I had one years ago and had it made into the custom gun I showed earlier in 223. It is nice as a L46, but not very pleasing to the eye. The micro grooves, I’m not sure if indeed it is Marlin Micro grooves or a Sako barreled action that Sako made with similar rifling to Marlin made Micro grooving.

I have seen other Sakos with the same rifling, so that is why I think it may be all Sako barreled action marketed by Marlin.

My preference would be to put a little more with the price and get a standard sporter in 222 than have the Marlin. I don’t find the 322 particularly attractive…
