Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Marlin Papoose

Anyone have experience with one of these. Saw one in lgs today that looks excellent. Has the case, wrench and several extra magazines of various capacities. What would be a fair price? Thanks for your thoughts.

I had a blued/wood Papoose way back when, 1980s. It was surprisingly accurate. I just finger tightened the barrel nut. Left it behind during a hasty divorce. Dumb. No idea what they are selling for these days.

I ran across one still in the box about a year ago. I think it as marked 299.

Bought a new in box Marlin Papoose for my son years ago. Accurate enough, never had any problems with it. As I recall I paid around $125 +/- for his back then.

Appears the prices on them are all over the place now.

They're running about $300 for the wood one and the stainless steel with the synthetic stock of seeing them go for $400.

i got a used steel marlin papoose 7-8 years ago from its sole owner for $300. i’m not that accurate anyway so i can’t speak for the rifle’s accuracy. i really like it as an almost everyplace legal trunk gun, very easily secured in a nondescript gym bag. at $300 i would look for ruger 10/22 takedown or charger t.d. (not all state legal), or a perhaps henry lever action carbine, which isn’t a t.d. per se but breaks down easily enough.
