I have an old Marlin 25M which was the cheap version of their 22 Mag bolt action with a junk stock on it..

bought it for $99.00 new at Holiday Village in Minnesota...

ordered a laminate stock from Marlin for $54.00...

thing has been a tack driver since day one..

It has even dispatched a couple of deer who were clipped by cars, with head shots from distances of 75 to 125 yds.. and dropped them like a sack of potatoes..

been a super reliable performer..
