My mountie was my prized possession & I plinked an unbelievable number of drink cans, paper plates, along with the occasional squirrel. The current production lever 22s being made by other brands don’t come close to the quality & durability of these Marlins & it’s unlikely that Ruger will ever make these models. Bump for a classic.

Thanks.

Since I got it (11th bday) its been my favorite rifle bar none, period.

Its not a target rifle, but compared to any and all "field rifles" i've comapred it to its stunningly accurate and just a perfectly fun blast to shoot.

I shudder ot think of how many red squirrels, punks, and Al cans it claimed in my youth!
