Spanky, Patty's got one and it drives tacks. The only drawback is I can load .223s cheaper. Her's is a 20 inch lam. It's a sweet little rifle though. I had a Marlin, I believe it was 50M. Didn't like it at all, just cride
to me. I had made some nice shots with it. Dumped a chuck at about 240 one time and a wounded goose at about the same distance. Just didn't like the bolt and the price of the ammo. You can shoot .223 mil surp for plinking and pests for less.
