Marlin 880SQ
« on: March 10, 2003, 04:20:46 AM »
I was looking at the Marlin 880SQ. It is a heavy barrelled .22 bolt action set up for a scope ,with no sights. Has anyone out there bought one?? Any feedback on that model would be appreciated.
Thanks

Marlin made these to answer the demand for guys who wanted a super accurate squirrel rifle. I have seen a few post on them and the guys that had them liked them. The real fussy guys did a replacement trigger on them as most factory triggers can be improved. I have no idea what they cost as my gun guide is a older one but it looks like a nice rifle. Marlin does make a good 22 this looks like it would be a accurate one. If you like a bolt action I do not see how you can go wrong. Jim

I've got one of Marlin's 880 (I think it' an "A" model) sporters.  This one has a standard barrel, with sights.  I've used it for years, not had any problems, sounds like the heavy-barrel version would be even better.
