Well guys how are ya doing. I need to expound on your knowledge and see what you fellas think about these 3 rifles. I don't really know the accuracy of them, and I wanted to know what you thought. I found a 10/22 SS with a 3-9 scope for $200, and I have found another Marlin that a friend wants to sell. I mainly want to use it for squirel hunting and prarie dog shooting. Maybe some coyotes or something. Also what about the Marlin 7000. I haven't really heard anything about it. Well expound on me please. Thanks guys. Ryan
