Marlin XT-22VR??

Re: Marlin XT-22VR??

The new heavy barrel Marlin 22s are now listed at $187! That's even better than the $225 initially listed by Gun Genie.

Oh yah, I'm going to buy one (or 3) too, but Marlin has already said something about getting them out into shooters hands by spring.

Of course "spring" is a pretty broad timeframe, so who knows. All I know is I'm getting at LEAST one. My past experience with other heavy barrel target Marlin 22s has been EXCELLENT. (700/7000/2000)

And now that there's a company making high capacity 25-rd banana Marlin 22 mags, the aftermarket is starting to show interest in Marlin.

Re: Marlin XT-22VR??

i got a whiff of this a few months ago,

http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2288278&page=1

but still have not heard of any range reports. from any of the "testing magazines" that get them in advance, or from anyone else. i think my CZ fund may be going into one of these instead.

they have decent pics on the marlin ? remington site now of all the xt lineup.
