Marlin 25N
A friend was getting rid of a few rifles he doesn't use any more. He had one that he had taken to a pawn shop to sell and they didn't want to give him hardly any thing for it. They made him a little mad about dealing with pawn shops. He asked me if I wanted it and I said "Not really". He asked if I wanted to see it and said it was in decent shape. He brought it out and it really was a decent rifle. I asked him what he had to have for it and he said "Make an offer". I said "It is your gun you know what you want for it". He thought about it and then said "Give me a brick of that Norma Tac 22 and you can have it". I said "It is worth more than that but he said that was what he wanted it was more than the pawn shop offered. So I got it and it needed the crown touched up a little so I gave it the brass screw and lapping compound treatment. I put a 2-7 Leupold on it and it shot very well at 33yds. I am going to clean it up and fit the butt plate on better and take it to the show this week end and maybe a kids Dad will be looking for a cheap 22 for his kids and he can get this one. Here it is and the two extra magazines with it that are new.

As usual, the first thing to catch my eye is the really, really nice stock wood on your rifle.
And Wow! --- at the cost of a brick of .22 ammo!!![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Re: Marlin 25N
I have one of those, very accurate little rifles.

Re: Marlin 25N
I had one years ago, let it slip through my fingers in 2009, doesn't really matter how...........
But yeah, even with me shooting, that was a great shooting gun, my first Marlin.
But I was thinking, that back then I did A LOT of offhand shooting, mostly plinking and much squirrel hunting.
I have discovered that I'm not nearly as good as I was back then, cause there's no place to go plinking any more, and as a result my offhand shooting really suffers. I'm just not that much of a range guy.
But anyway, I took more squirrels with that model 25 than any other gun. It had a 6X40, forget the brand.
A tac/nail driver in my hands, I don't even want to think what bandit could do with it..........
Edit to add: Also, mine had a very plain birch stock, hardly any grain. This one almost looks like walnut, at least back by the butt plate.

Re: Marlin 25N
I put a 3-9x32 older Japanese made scope on the rifle and a nice medium set of rings and sold it to a guy who needed a 22. I surely didn't need to have another 22 with what my wife and I already have. Worked out good with my friend getting a brick of Norma Tac and this fellow getting a nice cheap 22. I sold it for a $100 and that put me just about right at what I had in the ammo I traded and the scope and rings. Every body's happy and I have a extra $100 to take to the Gettysburg show Saturday. If everything goes well I will get to meet one of our popular members Saturday at the show. Looking forward to that.
