I have one but can not give a report on how it shoots.....but that will change soon. I bought one but haven't had time to shoot it. As soon as deer season ends here I will take it out and see how it behaves. The feel, fit, craftsmanship all look great. The only problem I am having is to find extra mags for it. Marlin is not selling any at the momement, they say they are saving them to ship with the new rifles. I have asked around to find out exactly which current 22lr mags will work but no one can give me a difinitive answer....only guesses. I to mine at the local gun shop for $219, Walmart had them here for $179. I think they will be a great gun after reading what little test results that are available.

just got mine and I love it. I shot about 25 rds. functioned perfectly, no signs of stress on any of the cases.    With hornady I got a 3 shot 1/2 in. group. With cci 2 through same hole 3rd cut 1st hole. (50 yds.) trigger is quite good approx. 4 lbs. From what I read on other forums some are having problems with the crown being off center and shooting poorly, mine looked as good as the naked eye can tell, so I'd check it out before I put my money down. I used a k12 weaver, may put my 24x on to wring it out then go to a 4x12. There's not a lot of times my schedual and the wind cooperate. 'till next time  lizardtrack
