[quote]I bought myself a bolt action marlin with a tube magazine. It'll shoot 22lr,22 long, and 22 short. I've been very happy with it. Stainless and synthetic too!

Yeah the the 39a golden I was talking about does as well.
The difference is that this one is a bolt action, the only one currently available with a tube magazine.

Ahh ok you mean this...?


Model 981T

And its full length magazine holds 25 Short, 19 Long or 17 Long Rifle catridges.

And the difference being more stability since there is no action during and after the shot like in a mag fed right?

Good ol history channel...makin me look like im not a dummy
This one:

It replaced the 981. Mine is the XT-22TSR. [/quote]

So the differences between the TR and TSR are only one is blued and the other stainless and better sights?
