There are some pretty good deals here onsite on a reasonably regular basis, and a whole lot of knowledge to boot.
270 will boot u if you don't can it, something a little softer would probably be a better starters rifle (708, 6.5creed etc).
And do you need the flashest 22 ? I still grab my wee marlin795 over others which are nicer to look at, and shoot, mainly cos it's the one I'm most used too and not so worried about scratching.

Oh for sure. I anticipate that I will get my hands on my license either early to mid 2023. I basically window shop the buy/sell section every day which has given me an idea as to what sort of rifles get offered up for sale.
Exactly what I am thinking regarding the .22. Tbh I was pretty set on getting a new Marlin XT-22 scope/suppressed package for $530 but the lack of replacement parts for it kinda put me off. Am I being irrational?
