needs more ammo
Well, I suppose you could use an under-barrel mount for the reel.
Now I know what this thread is really about.

Had one of these. 1 1/2 MOA and it was the only one of five WMRs that could do that. Marlin, H&R, Winchester, and Henry.....best I could get out of any of them was 3 or worse.Ruger 77/22 stainless all weather with Zytel "boat paddle" stock, and NECG rear aperture sight.
I like my Ruger 77/22 mechanically but it’s not as accurate as my CZ and the caliber swap from LR to the magnums requires more than just a barrel/mag swap.
Marlin 25 in 22mag or 17 in 17HMR. Same gun different caliber.
Marlin Papoose is such an under rated gun, but its a semi auto 22 LR.
All the standard 77/22 needs to switch from 22lr to 22Mag (or 17 HMR) is a barrel, trigger guard, and magazine as long as the original rifle is not super early (early 77/22 bolts are not cut for magnum)
"Boat paddle" Zytel stocked 77/22 are very difficult to switch due to the need for a hard to find magnum Zytel boat paddle stock, and if original rifle is not "boat paddle" to begin with a special ejector mechanism which are just not available
In my experience, .22WMR is really loud for its power.. . . bolt-action, preferably but not necessarily synthetic stock, .22wmr.
The OP must go fishing for some really big, mean fish. It's a joke, OP, so don't get upset.
On the serious side I have never found the need for a fishing rifle. It's enough trouble to haul my fishing gear without including something as large and heavy as a rifle. A handgun does fine for me without being in my way.
I have the exact gun you mentioned, but unfortunately its not made any more. Its a Marlin 882SSV. I bought it new over 20 years ago for a little over $200.
I did some looking into it at the time and decided that for my purposes the .17 HMR didn't really give me anything significantly more than what I was already getting out of my .22 WMR rifle. For general plinking, small game, and varmint hunting, it wasn't going to do me much better.
