hello,
I have to swing by the shop to pick up a new shotgun and I called, they have a Marlin Model 25 for 99 bucks on the used rack.
I canceled a pre ordered 22 bolt action (t1X Tikka) to afford the shotgun, so I am back in the market for a detachable magazine bolt action 22 for small game (squirrel and treed coons over dogs). I have a 4X Nikon to put on it that I will remove from my Marlin 60 so the 60 can be put back into iron sighted service.
What should I look for on this old 25 before making an offer? Any known issues?
I won the 100 bucks for it in a coin flip wager after hanging up the phone with the shop, so it’s a “free” rifle
