A buddy of mine is looking for a used .22 rifle for his daughter that will shoot .22 short, long and long rifle rounds interchangably. It needs to be a bolt action with a tube feed. Any ideas what brand and model he should look into?
Some of the old Marlins would fit the bill. But I wonder why he would care if it only shot .22 LR? Who would buy shorts or longs today? Unless he has them on hand, just go with the .22 LR and forget about it. More accurate, less expensive and I doubt the kid is going to be shooting cats out the back door anyway. RTH
A friend whose father had passed away gave him 6K rounds of mixed .22. Thats the reason for needing something that will shoot shorts, longs and long rifle. Probably should have clarified that in my initial post.
Tell him to get a used Marlin Model 39A. It'll handle all of those .22 chamberings, tube magazine, and one hell of a nice little rifle. He should be able to find a few at local gun shows.
The remington 572 fieldmaster is tube fed and can handle shorts, longs and long rifle, but it's a pump action not a bolt action. I have an old rem 552 speedmaster which is almost the same rifle, but in a semiauto.
