Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Marlin 39a mountie

Back in about 1966 a 39-A Golden was my first .22 rifle...it was sold off when I went to college. After reading this thread as it was going along I decided to look for another Mountie...I say another as I had a 1961 back a few years ago but a friend fell in love with it so I sold it to him.

Last year I bought a 39TDS but never liked the short barrels balance...so it was recently sold and I found what was advertised to be a 1940s vintage 39A with straight stock and 20" barrel...it looked nice and the price was right so I bought it...

Turned out to be a 1956 I guess pre-Mountie as it doesn't have the gold trigger nor Mountie on the barrel.







With big brother 1894S .41 Magnum...




Put one of the older 3/4" tube Bushnell TwentyTwo scopes on it and it shoots great....

...now I don't feel so left out...
