Hi Redflare,

I bought a Marlin Papoose last year and am pleased with it. When I bought it I also bought an extra Marlin 10 round silver coloured magazine, it works just as well as the standard 7 round.

It will take standard grooved .22 scope rings but I think I am going to put a peep sight on the receiver to keep the light/handy/streamlined feel to it. I did add a black nylon Uncle Mikes Mountain sling with QD swivels. When I am brushing trails in the fall I carry the light rifle on my back and forget it is there until a grouse appears (the stupid northern sitting on the ground, soon to be dinner, kind of grouse).

Mike
