10/22 is just to common for my taste. It's like the inevitable 68 red with white stripe Camaro at a car show. Chances are you'll see a dozen of them. Not very reliable either in my experience. The 4 25 round mags I've fired through a 10/22 all had one or more hangups along the way.
Now that I've got the correct ammo choice, my PPS is more reliable than that by far. And they get awful reviews. It's also far cooler looking and much rarer.
New built by Remington Marlin's just suck. Only reason imo for the existence of GunBroker is buying Marlin built Marlin's.
Get a pre safety Marlin 39a. Reliable and accurate. But try to find one you can try before buying. Armslist let's you contact the sellers directly and search locally. Start there, don't be afraid to post a WTB ad if you don't see what you want.
