I recently got the idea of getting a 22 mag bolt action rifle. (I was given about 1,500 rounds of 22 mag a while back.) This would be strictly a range toy to let me see what kind of accuracy I can get out of the cartridge. Just fun at the range shooting.
I have a chance to bid on a Marlin 782, magazine fed, at an upcoming auction but I am completely unfamiliar with the model. Assuming it is in good condition, is anyone familiar with the 782?
I suspect the auction will keep the cost under 300 bucks. I know Savage and Marlin offer new bolt actions in 22 mag for under 300 dollars. Just wondering if the 782 is exceptional and worth bidding on.
Thanks for any help.
