My nephew is turning 11 soon, I want to buy him a rifle. His dad, my brother, is cool with the idea. Eli, my nephew has been shooting grandpa's old .22 semi with my brother and likes shooting.
I bought a Marlin 25 .22lr at k-mart years ago and it has been a fine rifle with the proper ammo for the price point. I'd have loved to buy another one but it isn't made now.
So I'm thinking about the Marlin XT22 22 BA 7 HWD which looks a lot like it and has a wood stock. I'm not into plastic.
Buds has it here

I'm mostly interested in informed opinions on the XT22 from people that own one, if you have had a model 25 before that is even better.
Thanks,
