Talk to me about tube-fed versus mag fed bolt action 22 rifles.
Here's the skinny.
A kid I work with has been to the range with me several times,,,
He really likes plinking with a bolt-action .22 rifle,,,
I'm thinking of buying one for his grad present.
I was looking at the Savage Mk-II,,,
The Mossberg 802 Plinkster,,,
And the Marlin XT-22.
Then I noticed the XT-22TR which is tube-fed,,,
I've never owned a tube-fed rifle in my life.
Are these as reliable in their feed as a mag-fed rifle?
I like the idea of not having to deal with mags,,,
I especially like not having to spend money on them.
Are there any quirks I should be aware of?
Help me out here gentlemen,,,
I-B-Clueless on this matter.
