Hi Folks,

I am thinking of buying a take-down .22 rimfire for general hunting/field bag carry and to add to my BOB if needed.

Does anyone on the Forum have experience with the Marlin Model 70 Papoose .22 rimfire semi-auto rifle? Information concerning accuracy, durability and reliable functioning would be appreciated. I have never owned a Marlin .22 before.

I started out looking at an AR7 (now made by Henry Arms), but many people say that the quality/accuracy/reliablility is not up to the standard of the Marlin. The AR7 does takedown smaller and floats on it's own outside of its case.

Thanks,

Mike
